English Translation
Lines 1-30 – Part 1
Marion (sings)
Robin loves me, Robin does; Robin asks, can he
Have me? Yes, he can! He bought me a little jacket
Made of scarlet fine and fancy, petticoat and little
Girdle: hey trolly lo! Robin loves me, Robin does;
Robin asks, can he have me? Yes, he can!
Knight (sings) Line 9
I was coming homewards from the tournament, when I found this pretty Marote alone
Marion (sings)
Hey, Robin , if you love me, please come and fetch me now
Knight
Shepherdess, good day to you!
Marion
God bless and keep you, sir!
Knight
Dear girl,
Tell me now in the name of love,
Why do you sing this melody
So often, and so happily?
(sings)
Hey, Robin, if you love me, please come and fetch me now
Marion Line 20
Good sir, the reason’s obvious –
I love Robin, and he loves me.
He’s shown quite well that he holds me dear –
This little basket he’s given me,
And my sheephook, and my knife.
Knight
Tell me, have you seen a bird
Flying over the meadow-land.
Marion
I’ve seen more birds than I can count,
And in the bushes, here, there are
Goldfinches and chaffinches,
Singing away so prettily! Line 30
