Zigeunermelodien (Op. 55)
Ei! Ei, wie mein Triangel wunderherrlich läutet!
Ei! Ei, wie mein Triangel wunderherrlich läutet!
Wie Zigeunerlieder, wenn zum Tod man schreitet!
Wenn Triangelklänge mich zum Tod begleiten,
ist's mit Tanz und Liedern aus für alle Zeiten!
Lieder, Reigen, Liebe aus für alle Zeiten.
Hey! How my triangle rings out
Hey! How my triangle rings out in splendour!
Like gypsy songs when we approach death!
When the triangle’s song accompanies me to the grave,
There will be no more singing and dancing!
