Aschenbrödel [English translation]

Of noble figure and with eyes so delicate

You must wear apron and rags

With soot on the skin and with ashes in the hair

You patiently endure the plagues

So wash the soot off the skin

Because miracles happen when you believe in them

Do you know the time when your parents were still alive

And you knew carefree dreams?

Do you know the time when with flowing hair

You found that magic hazel?

So wash the soot off the skin

Because miracles happen when you believe in them

And in the dark a light shines

A prince has redeemed you

And with him you don't know about the shadows

Do you know the time when in hunter's clothes

You conquered the prince?

Do you know the night, when in silk and velvet

You swayed with him in the dance?

So go with your head raised

Because miracles happen when you believe in them

And in the dark a light shines

A prince has redeemed you

And with him you don't know about the shadows

And in the dark a light shines

A prince has redeemed you

And with him you don't know about the shadows

And in the dark a light shines

A prince has redeemed you

And with him you don't know about the shadows
