Mein Herzblut geht in Sprüngen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the German (Deutsch)
Mein Herzblut geht in Sprüngen,
Mein Rösslein geht im Trab:
Hurrah, welch lustig Reiten,
Wildfremdes Land zur Seiten;
Muss alles mir bezwingen,
Was sich nicht selbst ergab.
Die Fahn' im Windeszuge,
Sie flattert auf und ab,
So reiten wir durch's Leben,
Bis Herz und Glieder beben,
Bergauf, da geht's im Fluge,
Und sachte, sacht bergab.

My heart's blood is a‑leaping
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
My heart's blood is a-leaping,
My little horse goes at a trot.
Hurrah, what a merry riding,
Utterly unknown country beside me;
I must overcome everything for myself,
[Everything] that does not yield on its own.
The flag tugged by the wind,
It flutters up and down,
Thus we ride through life,
Until heart and limbs are trembling,
Uphill it goes a-flying,
And gently, gently downhill.
