lyrics

1. Im Märzen der Bauer [English translation below]
Die Rößlein einspannt,
Er setzt seine Felder
Und Wiesen in Stand.
Er pflüget den Boden,
Er egget und sät
Und rührt seine Hände
Früh morgens und spät.

2. Die Bäu'rin, die Mägde,
Sie dürfen nicht ruh'n,
Sie haben in Haus
Und Garten zu tun.
Sie graben und rechen
Und singen ein Lied,
Sie freu'n sich, wenn alles
Schön grünet und blüht.

3. So geht unter Arbeit
Das Frühjahr vorbei,
Da erntet der Bauer
Das duftende Heu.
Er mäht das Getreide,
Dann drischt er es aus,
Im Winter da gibt es
Manch fröhlichen Schmaus

[English translation]
n March comes the farmer to harness his team.
He makes his fields ready as well he may deem.
He ploughs and he harrows and sows all his seeds.
From dawn up to dusk then to labour he needs.

He takes up the rake and the spade in his hand
And levels the meadows he has on his land.
He also grafts new twigs onto his fine trees.
It takes all his effort, his work doesn't cease.

The farmhands and maids and his workers all there.
Keep busy as he does his work for to share.
They sing lots of songs that are merry and bright
And when all is blooming it gives them delight.

Now when the spring season and summer are past.
The autumn will fill his great barn then at last.
And once barn and cellar and house are well filled.
There is jolly feasting when winter has chilled.
