Der geheimnisvolle Fremde (Ja, ja, drei mal hurra!) deutsche Übersetzung
von ASP

Yesterday a rider came riding
From the north, to our place,
He said, "You in Schwarzkolm suffered a long time
Too long - just listen to my word!

Like your fathers and their fathers
Did you live in his shadow,
In fear, you crouched before the Lord Wrongdoer
And pray that he spares you!

You know, he's in alliance with the devil
But even he does not save him anymore,
He will die today, still in this hour
We are finally defending ourselves! "

Ja! Ja, dreimal Hurra!
Der Müller muss endlich ins Grab!
Ja! Ja, dreimal Hurra!
Und die Mühle, die reißen wir ab!


Yes! Yes, three times hurray!
The miller must finally go to the grave!
Yes! Yes, three times hurray!
And the mill, we tear it off!

The stranger saw our horrified faces.
He laughed and said, "Do not run away!
You have nothing to fear
I alone am his judge,
I need you for another purpose! "

He pointed with his finger
and told us to look
"There you can see my regiment!"
At the entrance to the town, there were twelve anxious women
intimidated and standing arm in arm.

"I too was a miller-
soldier widely traveled,
now follow me
and do not be fearfull anymore.

Do not be scared anymore
before the arts of the master!
What he can do
I can do for a long time! "


So followed him men and women and children
whether she was a farmer, a servant or a maid
Today we stand up, against the Leuteschinder
Yeah guys, today it's time to hunt!

The wierd stranger called out of his full lungs:
"Hey Mueller, come out now,
you have often snachted from the jaw of death,
but that's the end of it! "

He exclaimed:
"The reaper does not come to me!"
and he let go of his twelve dogs
but they ran tail-waving to the twelve mothers
In the end, sons were only her.

Yes! Yes, three times hurray!
The miller must finally go to the grave!
Yes! Yes, three times hurray!
And the mill, we tear it off!

The stranger called mockingly:
"Did not you hear it,
though you will not be a coward.
Today we settle with you
and if you do not want to come out,
I must go in to you. "

No sonner had he pronounced it,
He was already inside
and for a long time it seemed to be lost.
A rumbling noise,
someone screamed as if out of his mind
and the mill wheel stopped suddenly.

The man came out,
the master's conqueror.
"Curse him, black soul"
White ash that trickled
between the fingers
It looked like the finest flour.

"Now it is done,
yes I could defeat him,
but the revenge, it tastes so stale. ",
he said and suddenly you saw boys lying
where the twelve dogs were before.

"Brothers, what could be better than
to see you, and you are free!
I give you forgiveness and a new life,
the spell is broken.

You have to do without dark forces -
there's enough of it anyway.
We want to destroy the mill together
and it will be our profit. "

Yes! Yes, three times hurray!
We'll fix everything now!
Yes! Yes, three times hurray!
And the devilish miller is dead!

The stranger told us to drain the moor,
the swamp became arable land.
And he mumbled to himself
the work will be soon easier

The mill wheel burnt,
the house worn down,
we left the mill pond off.
Soon, nothing more witnessed the horror days
that the miller ever existed.

The stranger he called,
in the eyes a sparkle:
"This country should be yours alone!"
Then he rode away
and disappeared in the dark
you could hear him singing alone.

Yes! Yes, three times hurray!
We'll fix everything now!
Yes! Yes, three times hurray!
And the devilish miller is dead!

Then he rode away
and disappeared in the dark
and we all agreed.

Yes! Yes, three times hurray!
We'll fix everything now!
Yes! Yes, three times hurray!
And the devilish miller is dead!
