These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Es ging ein seltsam rauschen
There was a strange rush
Ein flüstern durch die stadt
A whisper through the city
Es hieß, dass eins der mädchen
It was said that one of the girls
Wohl ein geheimnis hat
Probably a secret has
Schnell drang zum schloss die kunde
Quickly urged to close the customer
Dort sperrte man sie ein
There they were locked up
Voll stroh war ihre kammer
Full straw was her chamber
Und sie war ganz allein
And she was all alone
Ihr vater hat gelogen
Her father lied
Er war ein trunkenbold
He was a drunkard
Er prahlte auf dem marktplatz
He boasted on the market place
Sie spinnt das stroh zu gold
She spins the straw to gold
Es kam und ging der morgen
It came and went the morning
Doch keinem mensch gelingt
But no one succeeds
Die kunst das stroh zu spinnen
The art of spinning the straw
Zu gold, das lüstern blinkt
Too gold that flashes lustful
So fanden sie das mädchen
So they found the girl
Mit stroh im blonden haar
With straw in blonde hair
Und tränen in den augen
And tears in the eyes
Nun hört was dann geschah
Now hear what happened
Ihr vater hat gelogen
Her father lied
Er war ein trunkenbold
He was a drunkard
Er prahlte auf dem marktplatz
He boasted on the market place
Sie spinnt das stroh zu gold
She spins the straw to gold
Sie spinnt das stroh zu gold
She spins the straw to gold
Schnell drang zur stadt die kunde
Quickly penetrated to the city the kunde
Vom schicksal jener maid
From the fate of that maid
Ihr vater bat vergeblich
Her father asked in vain
Nun um barmherzigkeit
Now for mercy
Das gold in ihrem herzen
The gold in her heart
Begann er zu versteh'n
Began to understand
War einzig, das was zählte
Was only what mattered
Nun konnte er es sehn
Now he could see it
In ihren augen sehn
In their eyes longing
Ihr vater gelogen
Her father lied
Er war ein trunkenbold
He was a drunkard
Er prahlte auf dem marktplatz
He boasted on the market place
Sie spinnt das stroh zu gold
She spins the straw to gold
Sie spinnt das stroh zu gold
She spins the straw to gold
Sie spinnt das stroh zu gold
She spins the straw to gold
