Jay Alexander - Das zerbrochene Ringlein 2007：

German lyrics:

In einem kühlen Grunde
 Da geht ein Mühlenrad
 Mein' Liebste ist verschwunden,
 Die dort gewohnet hat.

 Sie hat mir Treu versprochen,
 Gab mir ein'n Ring dabei,
 Sie hat die Treu' gebrochen,
 Mein Ringlein sprang entzwei.

 Ich möcht' als Spielmann reisen
 Weit in die Welt hinaus,
 Und singen meine Weisen,
 Und geh'n von Haus zu Haus.
  
 Ich möcht' als Reiter fliegen
 Wohl in die blut'ge Schlacht,
 Um stille Feuer liegen
 Im Feld bei dunkler Nacht.
  
 Hör' ich das Mühlrad gehen:
 Ich weiß nicht, was ich will —
 Ich möcht' am liebsten sterben,
 Da wär's auf einmal still!
