Hans und Grethe (G. Mahler)

From my Concert de Mi-Maîtrise on May 10, 2010.




Ring around the rosy!
Whomever is happy, come along!
Whomever has troubles, leave them behind!
He who kisses a dear loved one,
How lucky is he!
Oh, Hans, you don't have one!
So go search for one!
A dear loved one, that is very fine thing.
Hurrah, hurrah!

Ring around the rosy!
Oh, Gretchen, why do you stand all alone?
But you stare over at Hans?
And isn't May so green?
And a little breeze is blowing!
And hey, look at stupid Hans!
He is running to come dance!
He was searching for a lover, hurrah! He has found one!
Hurrah, hurrah!
