Horch, was kommt von draußen rein [English translation]

Listen, what comes in from outside? Hollahi, hollaho!

It will surely be my dear. Hollahiaho!

Passes by and looks inside, hollahi, hollaho,

Surely wasn't him/her. Hollahiaho!

People have said if often, hollahi, hollaho,

What a dear I have. Hollahiaho!

Let them talk, better be silent, hollahi, hollaho,

I may love who I like to. Hollahiaho!

When my dear marries, hollahi, hollaho,

It's day of mourning for me. Hollahiaho!

I go into my room, hollahi, hollaho,

Suffer alone in my pain. Hollahiaho!

When I've died then, hollahi, hollaho,

They carry me to my grave. Hollahiaho!

Put no gravestone on my grave, hollahi, hollaho,

Plant a forget-me-not on it. Hollahiaho!
