Erika (German folk/marching song) - Synthesia

Erika is a German folk song written in the 30's. Many think it is a right extreme song but it's basically German Katyusha.
The blue part is an alternative left hand or an duet version.
Difficulty: Medium
I took references from these videos:
• Video
• Marcha Militar Alemana...

Fun fact for who does not understand German:
this song is about the fact that "Erika" is not only a common name for women in Germany, but also how a plant is called. It's a love song, and in the whole lyrics you can't find a single word about war or politics

[@imsheisty004]

Is it really a love song? I thought Erika (the little maiden) was the guy’s daughter.

Lyrics:
A little flower blooms on the heath
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
And that means
Und das heißt
Erika
Erika
Hot from a hundred thousand little bees
Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein
Will be swarmed
Wird umschwärmt
Erika
Erika
Because her heart is full of sweetness
Denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit
A delicate fragrance emanates from the blossoms
Zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid
A little flower blooms on the heath
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
And that means
Und das heißt
Erika
Erika
A blond little girl lives at home
In der Heimat wohnt ein blondes Mägdelein
And that means
Und das heißt
Erika
Erika
This girl is my faithful darling
Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein
And my luck
Und mein Glück
Erika
Erika
When the heather blooms red-purple
Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht
I sing this song to greet her
Singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied
A little flower blooms on the heath
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
And that means
Und das heißt
Erika
Erika
In my little room there is also a little flower
In mein'm Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein
And that means
Und das heißt
Erika
Erika
Already at dawn and at dusk
Schon beim Morgengrau'n sowie beim Dämmerschein
look at me
Schaut's mich an
Erika
Erika
And then it seems to me that it speaks loudly
Und dann ist es mir, als spräch' es laut
"Are you also thinking of your little bride?"
"Denkst du auch an deine kleine Braut?"
At home a little girl is crying for you
In der Heimat weint um dich ein Mägdelein
And that means
Und das heißt
Erika
Erika
