28.

Tonight, [is] a moonlit night, *Vay, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le.* The snow has fallen, patterning the ground, Who has [ever] seen [one] forget a beloved sweetheart? Whoever forgets—may they go blind in both eyes. Turn your eye toward [me] that I may kiss [it], *Vay, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le.* Curved eyebrows, rosy cheeks. Who has [ever] seen [one] forget a beloved sweetheart? Whoever forgets—may they go blind in both eyes. O night, turn into a year, Let my bread be [made of] barley; If only my sweetheart, for my sake, Would fulfill [her] promise from the heart. O girl, let me take your pain upon myself, For the sake of your love, I shall kill myself; Lend an ear to my word, [And] I shall win your mother's consent.
