Lyrics (translation):

I will not be yours

he begged me, he begged me to pick sour cherries
but the sun is already high 
and my mother won't let me go
chor.:
never, never, never will I be yours
I will never be your girlfriend

he begged me, he begged me to rake the leaves under the cherry tree
but the clouds have come
and my mother won't let me go

chor.: never, never, never will I be yours ...

he begged me, he begged me to throw snow under the cherry tree,
but it's windy there, it's cold
and my mom won't let me go

chor.: never, never, never will I be yours ...

he begged me, he begged me to kiss under the cherry tree
but there is still dew in the morning
and my mother won't let me go in the evening

chor.: never, never, never will I be yours ....

he begged, he begged to dance under the cherry tree
but not me, but the other one
why, I would like to know

chor.: 
never, never, never will I be yours
I will never be your girlfriend
