from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Ludwig Aigner (1840 - 1909), as Lajos Abafi

O komm' herein, o komm' herein
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Hungarian (Magyar) 
O komm' herein, o komm' herein
Du wunderschönes Vögelein, 
Ich ließ schon machen dir allein 
Von purem Gold ein Bauer, fein:  

Von purem Gold ein Bauer, fein, 
Von reinem Silber dran die Thür'; 
Von reinem Silber dran die Thür', 
Von Demantstein das Tröglein dir. 

Ich pflege nicht, ich pflege nicht 
Zu wohnen in den Bauer, fein, 
Ich pflege nur, ich pflege nur 
Im grünen Wald daheim zu sein; 

Im grünen Wald daheim zu sein, 
Auf grünem Ast zu halten Rast, 
Beim Tannenbaum zu sein zu Gast, 
Zu trinken hellen Thau als Wein.
