Lyrics - German
(August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben, 1835)
Winter, ade! Scheiden tut weh.
Aber dein Scheiden macht
Daß mir das Herze lacht.
Winter, ade! Scheiden tut weh.
Winter, ade! Scheiden tut weh.
Gerne vergess’ ich dein,
Kannst immer ferne sein.
Winter, ade! Scheiden tut weh.
Winter, ade! Scheiden tut weh.
Gehst du nicht bald nach Haus,
Lacht dich der Kuckuck aus.
Winter, ade! Scheiden tut weh.
English Translation – Goodbye Winter
Goodbye winter! It hurts to part.
But your parting does
That my heart laughs.
Goodbye winter! It hurts to part.
Goodbye winter! It hurts to part.
I like to forget your
You can always be far away.
Goodbye winter! It hurts to part.
Goodbye winter! It hurts to part.
Aren’t you going home soon
The cuckoo laughs at you.
Goodbye winter! It hurts to part.
