Mein Herz das ist ein tiefer Schacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Mein Herz das ist ein tiefer Schacht,
Drin gräbt die Liebste Tag und Nacht,
Nach seinen edlen Erzen, nach seinen edlen Erzen.
Und wie sie pocht auf dem Gestein,
Da klingt hervor ein Liedchen klein,
Jubelnd aus meinem Herzen, jubelnd aus meinem Herzen.

Und Tag und Nacht und Nacht und Tag,
Führt unbekümmert nun den Schlag.
Die Liebste froh und munter, die Liebste froh und munter;
Ist unerschöpflich doch der Schacht,
Meinst du, du hättest ihn leer gemacht,
Steig tiefer dann hinunter, steig tiefer dann hinunter.
