Translated lyrics
In a poor house, every evening at the fireplace, s mother spins dreams for her child. She sings him a songb and he claps his hands. The whole room sings, even the walls sing. Clap hands, my treasure, my beauty! Pappa will buy you shoes, my little one. Mamma will knit you socks. Pappa willbuy you horses and Mamma will put bells on them. In the house happiness and joy reign. Side by side with poverty, paradise resides. There love is greater than anything else. There love is stronger than poverty.
