Rumpelstilzchen

Well, it was her, who was weeping
And I just said "Good evening"
A pretty girl needed my help
– so we made a deal
Three turns and the reel was full...
Three turns and the next one, too
So through the night I was spinning straw into gold
Yes and magic is nice
But has its price

Today I bake, tomorrow brew
The next I'll have the young Queen's child and you
Can't see me dance around the flames
Or hear me sing
You don't know my name

She came up with some good names
How I love playing the good games
Should have seen all their faces –
Everybody tried to help
I could not stop laughing
For they all just had nothing
I am not called Shortrip –
You won't ever guess it
Magic is nice
But has its price

Today I bake, tomorrow brew
The next I'll have the young Queen's child and you
Can't see me dance around the flames
Or hear me sing
You don't know my name

No, not James!
Or anything stupid like Laceleg
No! Good night – it's been a pleasure

Ach, wie gut, dass niemand weiß, dass ich Rumpelstilzchen heiß

Today I bake, tomorrow brew
The next I'll have the young Queen's child and you
Can't see me dance around the flames
Or hear me sing
You don't know me...
