Schubert: 24. Der Leiermann _ Andreas Schmidt lyrics

Wilhelm Müller:
Der Leiermann
The Organ-Grinder; Translated into english

Way behind the hamlet
stands an organ man
and with freezing fingers
grinds the best he can.

Barefoot on the snowbank
swaying to and fro -
and his little plate has
ne'er a coin to show.

No-one comes to listen,
no-one comes to greet,
and the dogs are growling
at the old man's feet.

And he lets it happen,
lets it as it will -
cranking - and his organ
never standing still.

Strangest of the ancients,
shall I walk with you?
Will you, for my Lieder,
grind your organ, too?
