Zwei kleine Fenster, ins Grün geschmiegt, Ein Strohdach, drüber die Sonne liegt Und unter den Linden ein kühler Platz -- Das ist seine Heimath, da wohnt mein Schatz. Sie sagen, da draußen in weiter Fern Gäb's tausend Wunder, ich glaub's ja gern -- Mein' Seligkeit, meine Lust und Pein Wohnt hinter den winzigen Fensterlein.

Two little windows, snuggled into the greenery, A thatched roof above which lies the sun And under the linden trees a cool place -- That is his home, there dwells my darling. They say that out in the broad distance There are a thousand wonders; I believe it gladly -- My bliss, my joy and pain Dwells behind the tiny little windows.
