Im Hause des Müllers

Im Hause des Müllers,
Da tönen die Geigen,
Da springen die Bursche
Im wirbelnden Reigen,
Da klingen die Gläser,
Schallt „Hussah“ darein.
Hochzeit wird gefeiert,
Wörtlein ach so süß.
Im Hause des Müllers,
Da zittert die Diele,
Es drängt sich und hebt sich
Im bunten Gewühle,
Und Alles jauchzt: „Hussah,
Hoch Bräut’gam und Braut!“
Hochzeit wird gefeiert,
Wörtlein ach so süß.

In the house of the miller,
Violins resound,
The young lads are leaping
About in a whirling dance,
The glasses are clinking,
And cheering is mingled with these sounds.
A marriage is being celebrated –
Marriage – ah, word so sweet.
In the house of the miller
The floorboards shake,
The colourful throng
Surges and swells,
And everyone rejoices: “Hurrah,
Long live the bride and groom!”
A marriage is being celebrated–
Marriage – ah, word so sweet.
