Um den Ofen herum

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Bullert das Feuer im Ofenloch;
buller noch mehr, uns liebst du doch!
Zürnst dem Wind, der im Schornstein haust
und wütend über die Dächer braust.

Bullert das Feuer im Ofenloch;
buller noch mehr, uns liebst du doch:
wärmst die Stube von früh bis spät,
brätst Äpfel uns, eh es ins Bette geht.

Huller und buller im Ofenloch;
buller noch mehr: wir lieben dich doch!
Leuchte und lohe! In deinem Schein
fallen die schönsten Märchen uns ein!

Around the stove

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

The fire is roaring in the stove door;
only roar all the more, you love us nevertheless!
You're angry with the wind that resides in the chimney
and furiously blusters over the rooftops.

The fire is roaring in the stove door;
only roar all the more, you love us nevertheless:
you warm the room from dawn to dusk,
you bake our apples for us before we go off to bed.

Rage and roar in the stove door;
only roar all the more, we love you nevertheless!
Shine and blaze! In your radiance
we come up with the most beautiful fairy tales!
