Erika [English translation]

On the heath blooms a little flower

And it's called: Erika.

Hot from a hundred thousand little bees

That swarm around Erika

Because her heart is full of sweetness,

Tender scent pours from her flowery dress

On the heath blooms a little flower

And it's called: Erika.

Back at home lives a blonde young girl

And she's called: Erika.

This girl is my faithful little darling

And my happiness, Erika.

When the heath flower red-purple blooms,

Sing I in greeting her this song

On the heath blooms a little flower

And it's called: Erika.

In my small room blooms, too, a little flower

And it's called: Erika.

Already at dawn, as well as at dusk,

It looks at me, Erika.

And then to me it's as if it speaks aloud:

"Think you also of your little bride?"

Back at home weeps for you a young girl

And she's called: Erika.
