Tambourliedchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Den Wirbel schlag' ich gar so stark,
Daß euch erzittert Bein und Mark,
Drum denk' ich ans schön Schätzelein,
Blaugrau,
Blau,
Blaugrau,
Blau
Ist seiner Augen Schein.
Und denk' ich an den Schein so hell,
Von selber dämpft das Trommelfell,
Den wilden Ton, klingt hell und rein:
Blaugrau,
Blau,
Blaugrau,
Blau
Sind Liebchens Äugelein.

Canzoncina del tamburino
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Faccio un rullo di tamburo così forte
che vi tremano le gambe fino al midollo,
perché penso al mio bel tesoro.
Grigioazzurra,
azzurra,
grigioazzurra,
azzurra
è la luce dei suoi occhi.
E se penso a quella luce così chiara,
da sola smorza la pelle del tamburo
il suono violento, ma suona chiaro e puro.
Grigioazzurri,
azzurri,
grigioazzurri,
azzurri,
sono gli occhi della mia cara.
