lyrics

Stricknadeln, blank und blinkend, Knitting needles, bright and gleaming
In ihrem grauen Haar, In her gray hair,
Sitzt die Duenna murmelnd, The duenna sits muttering
Im roten Röckchen da. There in a small red dress.

Sie wartet in der Laube, She's waits in the arbor;
Sie liebt Pierrot mit Schmerzen, She loves Pierrot painfully,
Stricknadeln, blank und blinkend, Knitting needles, bright and gleaming
In ihrem grauen Haar. In her gray hair.

Da plötzlich - horch! - ein Wispern! The suddenly--hark!--a whisper!
Ein Windhauch kichert leise: A wind breath giggles softly:
Der Mond, der böse Spötter, The moon, that nasty mocker
Äfft nach mit seinen Strahlen - Apes her with his rays--
Stricknadeln, blink und blank. Knitting needles, bright and gleaming.
