Die Kälte kann wahrlich brennen
Wie Feuer. Die Menschenkinder
Im Schneegestöber rennen
Und laufen immer geschwinder.
O, bittre Winterhärte!
Die Nasen sind erfroren,
Und die Klavierkonzerte
Zerreißen uns die Ohren.
Weit besser ist es im Summer,
Da kann ich im Walde spazieren,
Allein mit meinem Kummer,
Und Liebeslieder skandieren.

寒冷可以真正燃烧
如火。 孩子们出来
在暴风雪中奔跑
并且跑得越来越快。
哦，冬日辛酸遭罪！
鼻子都被冻住了，
还有钢琴音乐会
抓住我们的耳朵。
夏天就有美好风光，
我可以在森林里散步，
我一人独自悲伤，
还可以唱爱情歌曲。
