English text
On the mountain the wind blows wild,
There Mary rocks her child,
She rocks him with her snow white hand;
Her cradle has no ribbon hand.
Ach, Joseph, dearest Jeseph mine,
O help me rock this bae of thine.
How can I the baby to dreamland send?
Just see how my fingers can hardly bend.
Byelo, Byelo!
German text
Auf dem Berge da weht der Wind,
Da wiegt Maria a ihr Kind;
Sie wiegt es mit ihrer schneeweissen Hand,
Und hat auch dazu kein Wiegenband.
Ach, Joseph, lieber Joseph mein,
Ach hilf mir weigen mein Knabelein.
Wie kann ich dir denn dein Knabelein wieg'n?
Ich kann ja kaum selber die Finger beig'n!
Schun, schei, schun, schei!
