1. Horch, was kommt von draußen' rein
Hollahi, hollaho!
Wird wohl mein Feins liebschen sein
Hollahiaho!
Geht vorbei und schaut nicht 'rein,
Hollahi, hollaho!
Wirds whol nicht gewesen sein,
Hollahiaho!
2. Leute haben's oft gestagt,
Hollahi, hollaho!
Daß ich ein Feinsliebchen hab'
Hollahiaho!
Laß sie reden schweig fein still,
Hollahi, hollaho!
Kann, ja lieben, wen ich will,
Hollahiaho!
3. Wenn mein Liebschen Hochzeit hat,
Hollahi, hollaho!
Hab ich meinen trauertag,
Hollahiaho!
Geh dan in mein Kämmerlein,
Hollahi, hollaho!
Trage meinen Schmerz allein,
Hollahiaho!
4. Wenn ich dann gestorben bin,
Hollahi, hollaho!
Trägt man mich zum Grabe hin,
Hollahiaho!
Zetzt mir keinen Leichenstein,
Hollahi, hollaho!
Pflanzt mir Veilchen und Vergißnichmein,
Hollahiaho!
1. Hark! What is that sound I hear?
Hollahi, hollaho!
Is my truelove coming near?
Hollahiaho!
No, he's passed without a glance.
Hollahi, hollaho!
What will come of my romance?
Hollahiaho!
2. All the folks have said to me,
Hollahi, hollaho,
What a treasure he would be.
Hollahiaho!
Let them talk, for good or ill.
Hollahi, hollaho!
I shall choose just whom I will.
Hollahiaho!
3. People say, I should not miss
Hollahi, hollaho,
Such a chance for married bliss,
Hollahiaho!
But I found the man for me
Hollahi, hollaho,
Someone else's soon will be.
Hollahiaho!
4. When my love will marry her,
Hollahi, hollaho,
From my room I shall not stir.
Hollahiaho!
On my bed I'll grieve alone,
Hollahi, hollaho;
And my heart shall turn to stone.
Hollahiaho!
5. When, at last, of grief I've died,
Hollahi, hollaho,
Will he stand by my graveside,
Hollahiaho,
Strew onto my lonely plot,
Hollahi, hollaho,
Roses and forget-me-not?
Hollahiaho!
1. Who is this, who enters there?
Hollahi, hollaho!
Is this not my sweetheart fair?
Hollahiaho!
Past she goes and pays no heed.
Hollahi, hollaho!
Tell me, is it she, indeed?
Hollahiaho!
2. By my friends, it's whispered 'round,
Hollahi, hollaho,
What a sweetheart I have found.
Hollahiaho!
In my heart I mull the thought,
Hollahi, hollaho,
Whether things are well or not.
Hollahiaho!
3. If another she would wed,
Hollahi, hollaho,
Better off, if I were dead.
Hollahiaho!
My deep sorrow, all alone,
Hollahi, hollaho,
Will my heart now turn to stone?
Hollahiaho!
4. What is this? My bride you'll be?
Hollahi, hollaho!
O what joy this is for me!
Hollahiaho!
I shall sing the whole day through,
Hollahi, hollaho,
Singing of my love for you.
Hollahiaho!
