Deutsch: “My Favorite Things” (“Finde ich schön”)

German lyrics for “My Favorite Things...” - Also see the original English lyrics below.

Music: Richard Rodgers
English lyrics: Oscar Hammerstein II
German lyrics: Unknown

Ich liebe Rosen und Wiesen und Kinder,
Mag Kupferkessel auf Feuer nicht minder
Muss beim Zubettgeh'n den Abendstern seh'n
Liegen im weichen Bett finde ich schön

Ich liebe Ponys und mag Apfelstrudeln
Cremetorten, Kirschtorten, Schnitzel mit Nudeln
Wildgänse fliegend hoch über den Seen
Tiere im Wald und Feld finde ich schön.

Ganz weiße Kleider mit blauseid'nen Schuhen
Schneeflocken, die auf den Zweigen sich ruhen.
Silberne Winter und Berge in Höh'n
Sonnige Frühlingstag' finde ich schön.

Wenn der Hund bellt und ist bissig,
und ich bin verzagt,
Ganz einfach sofort wird mein Kummer vergeh'n
Ich denke an das was schön

English: “My Favorite Things”

English lyrics for “My Favorite Things” - Also see the German lyrics above. (Note: These are the original English lyrics, not a translation of the German.)

Music: Richard Rodgers
English lyrics: Oscar Hammerstein II

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
