The spinning wheel song (free translate, sorry for the faults)

 

O my dear spinning wheel, my white spool,

I love you better than gold and silver!

You give me everything, milk, butter and flour,

And the gay house, and the clothing.

I love you better than gold and silver,

O my dear spinning wheel, my white spool!

 

O my dear spinning wheel, my white spool,

You sing at dawn with the birds;

Summer and winter, hemp or fine wool,

By you, until the evening, charge the spindles

You sing at dawn with the birds,

O my dear spinning wheel, my white spool.

 

 

O my dear spinning wheel, my white spool,

You will spin me my narrow shroud,

When, close to dying and hunching over.

I will make my bed eternal and cold.

You will spin me my narrow shroud,

O my dear spinning wheel, my white spool!
