Once upon a time
A young lady
Every Sunday she would walk down the hill
To the market in the square
She brought with her
The freshness of the morning
And the scent of spring
No one knew her name
No one knew where she came from
Young lady, young lady,
With a beautiful hat
Where did you find such a piece
That is not even seen in the capital?
Dear gentleman, dear gentleman,
I took that hat
From Bran's head
That I found on the top of the hill
Young lady, young lady,
With a beautiful dress
Where did you find such a piece
That is not even seen in Paris?
Dear gentleman, dear gentleman,
I got that dress
From Joan who was burned
She was the saint killed by the Church
Young lady, young lady,
With a beautiful purse
Where did you find such a piece
That is not even seen in London?
Dear gentleman, dear gentleman,
I stole this purse
From Taliesin the bard
He could not solve my riddle
Young lady, young lady,
Who has a beautiful clog
Where did you find such a piece
That is not even seen in Madrid?
Dear gentleman, dear gentleman,
I found this clog
Fallen from the king's saddle
While he was going to fight his crusade
Young lady, young lady,
Who carries a basket full
What are you bringing to the square
That no one knows such things?
Dear gentleman, dear gentleman,
My basket is full
But few can take it
They are rare articles for nobles
Young lady, young lady,
Here everyone knows each other
But no one knows your name
Or where you came from
How can I court you?
Dear gentleman, dear gentleman,
The greatest trickster
Has the name of Love
Though I am desired
Neither king nor hero can touch me
Whoever would know my name
Into the circle must enter
On the night of the full moon
In the middle of the oak forest
The mark of my God
You must receive
The blessing of my Goddess
You must deserve
Garlic, salt and cinnamon
Belladonna, henbane and mandrake
Birch, ash and yew
Apple, pomegranate and fig
Do you know and dare to speak my name?
