Ringel, ringel Reih'n!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ringel, ringel Reih'n!
Wer fröhlich ist, der schlinge sich ein!
Wer sorgen hat, der lass' sie daheim!
Wer ein liebes Liebchen küßt,
Wie glücklich der ist!
Ei, Hänsel, du hast ja kein's!
So suche dir ein's!
Ein schönes Liebchen, das ist was Fein's. Juchhe!
Ringel, ringel Reih'n!
Ei, Gretel, was stehst denn so allein?
Guckst doch hinüber zum Hänselein!?
Und ist doch der Mai so grün?
Und die Lüftelein zieh'n!
Ei, seht doch den dummen Hans!
Wie er rennet zum Tanz!
Er suchte eine Liebchen, Juchhe!
Er fand's! Juchhe!
Ringel, ringel Reih'n!

Ring around, ring around the rosy!
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Ring around, ring around the rosy!
Whoever is merry should join in the circle!
Whoever has worries should leave them at home!
He who kisses a dear little love,
How happy he is!
Ah, Hansel, but you don’t have one!
So go look for one!
A beautiful little love is a fine thing! Hurrah!
Ring around, ring around the rosy!
Ah, Gretel, why are you standing here all by yourself?
Are you peeping over to little Hansel!?
And May is so verdant?
And the little breezes blow!
Ah, look at silly Hansel!
How he is running to the dance!
He was searching for a little love, hurrah!
He found one! Hurrah!
Ring around, ring around the rosy!
