by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Hopp hopp hopp hopp! Reiterlein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hopp hopp hopp hopp! Reiterlein,
Hopp hopp hopp!
Reit frisch in die Welt hinein,
Hopp hopp hopp!

Bei den Blumen sanft und mild
Durch die Dornen kühn und wild!
Bleib fest im Bügel,
Halt fest den Zügel!
Hopp hopp hopp hopp, Reiterlein,
Hopp hopp hopp!

Durchs Gewässer ernst und sacht,
Auf die Felsen mit Bedacht!
Bleib fest im Bügel,
Halt fest den Zügel!
Hopp hopp hopp hopp! Reiterlein,
Hopp hopp hopp!

Mit Geduld auf Stepp' und Sand,
Froh einst in dein Vaterland!
Bleib fest im Bügel,
Halt fest den Zügel!
Hopp hopp hopp hopp! Reiterlein,
Hopp hopp hopp!
