Mein Herzblut geht in Sprüngen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mein Herzblut geht in Sprüngen,
Mein Rößlein geht im Trab.
Das nenn' ich noch ein Reiten!
Wildfremdes Land zur Seiten;
Bergauf da geht's fein sachte,
Und hurrah fliegt's bergab.
Der Gaul kennt alle Schenken,
Da kaut er süßes Gras.
Sein Herr ißt Kraut im Schüßlein
Und giebt dem Mädel ein Küßlein;
Dann trinkt er einen Schoppen --
Ei das gefällt ihm baß.

My heart's blood is a‑leaping
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
My heart's blood is a-leaping,
My little horse goes at a trot.
That’s what I call riding yet!
Utterly unknown country beside me;
Uphill it goes quite gently,
And, hurrah, downhill one flies.
My steed knows all the taverns,
There he chews sweet grass.
His master eats sauerkraut in a bowl
And gives the girl a little kiss;
Then he drinks half a pint --
Ha, that pleases him very well.
