by Hermann von Lingg (1820 - 1905)

Nachtigall, hüte dich!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Nachtigall, hüte dich!
Singe nicht so lieblich!
Ach, dein allzuschönes Singen
Wird dich um die Freiheit bringen.
  Hüte dich!

Schöne Blume, hüte dich,
Blühe nicht [zu]1 glühend,
Dufte nicht so voll Entzücken!
Wer dich siehet, will dich pflücken,
  Hüte dich!

Schönes Mädchen, hüte dich!
Lächle nicht so gütig!
Deine Schönheit, deine Güte --
Denk' an Nachtigall und Blüte.
  [Hüte,]2
  Hüte dich!
