Ich hör' meinen Schatz
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich hör' meinen Schatz, Den Hammer er schwinget, Das rauschet, das klinget, Das dringt in die Weite, Wie Glockengeläute, Durch Gassen und Platz. Am schwarzen Kamin, Da [sitzet]1 mein Lieber, [Doch]2 geh' ich vorüber, Die Bälge dann sausen, Die Flammen aufbrausen Und lodern um ihn.

I hear my sweetheart
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I hear my sweetheart - The hammer he swings - The rustling, the clinking, Comes to me from afar, Like the sound of bells, Through streets and squares. By the black fireplace There my lover sits; But if I pass by, The bellows then whistle, And the flames roar And glow around him.
