from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Wilhelm Jordan (1819 - 1904)

Rauschet, rauschet, Mühlensteine
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) 
Rauschet, rauschet, Mühlensteine; 
Ist mir doch, als mahl' ich nicht alleine! 

Durft' allein mein Lied einst singen 
Und allein herum die Steine schwingen. 

Rauschet, rauschet, Mühlensteine; 
Bin allein und dennoch nicht alleine. 

Wie die Steine um die Mitte gehen, 
Muß mein Denken sich um Einen drehen. 

Mußte, Schönster Du von Allen, 
In mein armes Herz Dein Gluthblick fallen? 

Rauschet, rauschet, Mühlensteine; 
Bin allein und nicht allein und weine!
