"Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust."
Hiking is a Millers desire ...
It has to be a poor miller,
who never thought of hiking ...
From the water we have learned it ...
It does not rest day and night,
it always thinks of traveling on ...
We'll even see it with the wheels ...
they do not like standing still
and don't tire out from turning during the day...
The stones themselves, as hard as they are ...
they dance to the lively Rhein
and want to be even faster ...
Oh, hiking, hiking, my desire ...
Master and Mistress
please let me keep traveling in peace ...
