Here you will find the lyrics and sheet music for the children’s song “Horch, what’s coming in from outside!”.
1. Listen, what’s coming in from outside? Hollahi, hollaho!
Will probably be my sweetheart. Hollahiaho!
Walk by and don’t look in, hollahi, hollaho, it
probably won’t have been. Hollahiaho!
2. People have often said, hollahi, hollaho,
what a sweetheart I have. Hollahiaho!
Let them talk, keep quiet, hollahi, hollaho,
I can love whoever I want. Hollahiaho!
3. When my sweetheart has a wedding, hollahi, hollaho,
is a day of mourning for me. Hollahiaho!
I go to my closet, hollahi, hollaho,
bear my pain alone. Hollahiaho!
4. When I die, hollahi, hollaho,
they carry me to the grave. Hollahiaho!
Don’t set me a tombstone, hollahi, hollaho, plant forget- not-
mine on it. Hollahiaho!
