by Adelbert von Chamisso (1781 - 1838)

Hab' oft im Kreise der Lieben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
[Hab' oft]1 im Kreise der Lieben
  [In duftigem]2 Grase geruht,
Und mir ein [Liedlein]3 gesungen,
  Und alles war hübsch und gut.

Hab' einsam auch mich gehärmet
  [In bangem, düsterem Muth,]4
[Und habe wieder gesungen,
  Und alles war wieder gut.]5

Und manches, was ich erfahren,
  Verkocht' ich in stiller Wuth,
[Und]6 kam ich wieder [zu singen]7,
  War alles auch wieder gut.

[Sollst nicht uns]8 lange klagen,
  Was alles dir wehe thut,
Nur frisch, [nur]9 frisch gesungen!
  Und alles wird wieder gut.
