Round and round the firewood is bound ;
And the Three Stars appear in the sky .
This evening is what evening ,
That I see this good man ?
O me ! O me !
That I should get a good man like this !

Round and round the grass is bound ;
And the Three Stars are seen from the corner .
This evening is what evening ,
That we have this unexpected meeting ?
Happy pair ! Happy pair !
That we should have this unexpected meeting !

Round and round the thorns are bound ;
And the Three Stars are seen from the door .
This evening is what evening ,
That I see this beauty ?
O me ! O me !
That I should see a beauty like this !
