Our translations:  ENG
Schmied, lieber Schmied, schließ' auf Deine Thüre,
Rühre die Bälge, den Feuerbrand schüre!
Rücke das Eisen recht unter die Glut,
Schmiede mir's fest, und niete mir's gut! --
 
"Mädel, jung Mädel, so bleich deine Wange? --
Möchtest ein Kettchen? Begehrst eine Spange?
Willst einen Schlüssel für Keller und Kammer?
Feuerbrand schür' ich und schwinge den Hammer!" --
 
Schmied, lieber Schmied, ich bitte Dich sehr,
Schmied' einen Reifen um's Herz mir her,
Rühre und schüre und schwinge den Hammer,
Daß es nicht springe vor Wehe und Jammer!
