Mag da draußen Schnee sich türmen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mag da draußen Schnee sich türmen, Mag es hageln, mag es stürmen, Klirrend [an mein Fenster]1 schlagen, Nimmer will ich mich beklagen! Denn ich trage in der Brust Liebchens Bild und Frühlingslust.

Though the snow piles up outdoors

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!
