Muß ich in der Wüste hausen, In der Wildniß, in der grausen, Wo nur Sand und Sonne glühen, Lieblich wird es in mir blühen! Denn, ich trage in der Brust Liebchens Bild und Frühlings Lust! Ob die Nacht mit ihren Schauern, Ob Gefahren mich umlauern, Ob sie dräuen, ob sie wüten, Wird ein Engel mich behüten! Denn, ich trage in der Brust Liebchens Bild und Frühlings Lust!

Though the snow piles up outdoors, Though it hails, though it storms, [Though it] rattles against my window, Never shall I complain! For I carry in my breast The image of my beloved and the rapture of spring!

Translated titles:
In der Brust = In my breast
Liebchens Bild = My beloved's image
Mag da draussen Schnee sich thürmen = Though the snow piles up outdoors
Mag da draußen Schnee sich türmen = Though the snow piles up outdoors
Mag da drauszen =Though outdoors
Must I live in the desert, In the dreadful wilderness, Where only sand and sun smolder, It shall bloom beautifully within me! For I carry in my breast The image of my beloved and the rapture of spring! If night with its terrors, If dangers loom about me, If they threaten, if they rage, An angel shall protect me! For I carry in my breast The image of my beloved and the rapture of spring!
