Ein Liebespaar

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Ich kenne zwei, ich kenne zwei,
Du darfst es glauben mir,
Das sind die glücklichst Liebenden
Der ganzen Gegend hier.
 
Wie heissen sie? Wo wohnen sie?
Sie heissen Eichhornpaar,
Ihr Bergschloss ist der Tannenbaum,
Mit ewig grünem Haar.

A loving couple

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

I know two, I know two,
And you may believe me,
They are the most happy lovers
In the entire district here.

What are their names? Where do they live?
They are called “Squirrel-Pair”,
Their mountain castle is the fir tree,
With its eternally green locks.
