Uf' m Berg, da giht der Wind,
da wiegt de Maria ihr Kind
mit ihrer schlohengelweißen Hand;
sie hatt' ach derzu keen Wiegenband.
Uf' m Berg, da giht der Wind,
da wiegt de Maria ihr Kind.
Maria:
"Ach, Joseph, Joseph, liebster Joseph mein,
ach, hilf mer wiegen mei Knabelein!"

"Wie kann ich d'r denn dei Knabla wieg'n,
ich kann ja doch selber kaum de Fingerla bieg'n."
Schu -- schu -- schu.

On the mountains where blows the wind
Language: English after the Silesian (Schlesisch)
On the mountains where blows the wind,
there Mary rocks her child
with her snow-white hand;
she has [for that purpose] no cradle-band.
On the mountains where blows the wind,
there Mary rocks her child.
Mary:
“Ah, Joseph, Joseph, my darling Joseph,
ah, help me rock my little boy!”
Joseph:
“How can I rock the [little] boy for you,
I can myself hardly bend my little finger.”
[Shh -- shh -- shh -- shh.]
