Zwei Kammern hat das Herz
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Zwei Kammern hat das Herz, Als ich noch jung ging zu wandern, Da trug ich in einer den Schmerz, Die Freude doch in der andern. Nun alt und zerrissen mein Herz, Da trag' ich zu meinem Leide In beiden, in beiden den Schmerz, In keiner, keiner mehr Freude.
