Your mother engaged you
With a boy you don't love
When you know how much I love you
Why did you accept the engagement?

You forgot that you gave me your oath
We would have so happily
How can I live without you now
When I know you belong to a stranger now

Your engaged, your engaged
You hurt my heart
You turned out to be a traitor
You are happy in somebody else's home

Do you say your mother sent you
You fulfill her wish
But know that never
Happy you will ever live

A bunch of flowers as my will
Bring on top of my grave, my love
When I die, you will remember your lover
That once loved you

Your engaged, your engaged
You hurt my heart
You turned out to be a traitor
You are happy in somebody else's home
