Wie trag' ich doch im Sinne
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie trag' ich doch im Sinne
So wunderfrohen Muth!
Das kommt von süßer Minne,
Die heimlich brennen thut.
[Dadraußen lacht der Mai]1,
Nun geht's ans Wandern frei;
Und böt' man [hundert Gulden]2 mir,
Ich wär' nicht mit dabei.
Mein Schatz hat lichte Haare
[Und]3 Wänglein weiß und roth;
Von ihr will ich nicht fahren,
Es scheid' uns denn der Tod.
In aller weiten Welt
Mir nichts so wohl gefällt;
Seit ich mein'n Schatz zuerst erschaut,
Ist's Wandern mir vergällt.
Drei Wochen nach [Michaele]4
[Geht's an]5 ein lustig Frei'n.
So froh mag keine Seele
Auf dieser Erde sein.
Ein eigen Haus und Herd
[Ist]6 Kaiserkronen werth,
Und kommt mir je das Wandern an,
Ich mach' schon zeitig Kehrt.

How I do carry in my mind
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
How I do carry in my mind
Such a wondrously joyful spirit!
That comes from sweet love,
Which burns secretly.
[Outdoors May is laughing]2,
Now is the time for free wandering;
And if one offered me a [hundred guilders]3,
I would not be among the wanderers.
My darling has bright hair,
[And]4 cheeks of white and red,
And I will never leave her
Unless death should part us.
In the great wide world
Nothing pleases me so well;
Since the first time I saw my darling,
Wandering has been spoiled for me.
Three weeks after Michaelmas
There shall be a merry wedding.
No soul upon this earth
Can be this happy.
My own house and hearth
Is worth the crowns of emperors,
And should I ever be struck by the urge to wander,
I shall certainly turn around in a timely manner.
