Märzensturm
Language: German (Deutsch)
Märzensturm, rufst du mich?
Komm nur und hasche mich!
Jag' mich den Berg hinan,
Sieh doch, wer's besser kann,
Du oder ich.
Laß mir mein Kleid in Ruh,
Unbänd'ger Junge du!
Sollen's die Andern seh'n,
Wie mir die Röckchen weh'n?
Laß mich in Ruh.
Schön wie der Sonnenschein,
Stark muß mein Liebster sein!
Kannst du's, so küsse mich ...
Glaubst wohl, du fingest mich?
Bild dir nichts ein!
Geht dir der Athem aus?
Sieh dort am Weg das Haus!
Bautz -- fliegt die Thür in's Schloß,
Komm, wilder Weggenoß,
Hol' mich heraus?

March storm
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
March storm, are you calling me?
Only come and catch me!
Chase me up the mountain,
Let's see who can do it better,
You or I.
Leave my dress alone,
You boisterous lad!
Are the others to see
How my skirts are blowing about?
Leave me in peace.
As beautiful as sunshine,
Strong, that's how my beloved must be!
If you can, then kiss me . . .
Do you believe you could catch me?
Do not presume!
Are you running out of breath?
See the house yonder by the road!
Wham -- the door slams shut,
Come along, wild companion,
Are you going to get me out?
