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.

Petite chanson du tambour
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Je bats le roulement du tambour si fort
Qu'il vous secoue de la tête aux pieds,
Aussi je pense à mon joli petit trésor :
Bleu-gris,
Bleu,
Bleu-gris,
Bleu,
Est l'éclat de ses yeux.
Et quand je pense à cet éclat si vif,
De lui-même le son du tambour s'adoucit,
Les notes sauvages sonnent claires et pures:
Bleu-gris,
Bleus,
Bleu-gris,
Bleus,
Sont les petits yeux de ma douce.
