Mein Ring
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Du drückst mich wund, du kleine goldne Fessel An meiner Hand, Denn zwingend hältst du mir das junge Leben Ans Grab gebannt! Zwing auch, ich bitt' dich, meine Sehnsucht nieder Und gieb mir Ruh, Dann will ich klagelos dich weiter tragen, Mein Ringlein du!
