by Julius Gersdorff (1849 - 1907)

Junikäfer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wenn die Junikäfer fliegen, 
Kommt die Lieb' im Rosenschleier 
Und vor holden Mädchens Thüre 
Voller Sehnsucht harrt der Freier.
Juni ist die Zeit der Rosen, 
Bringt der Liebe Sieg; -- 
Junikäfer, Junikäfer, 
Lustig flieg'! 

Wenn die Junikäfer fliegen,
Sind die Tage hell und sonnig
Und zum Küssen laue Nächte
Voller Düfte, hold und wonnig.
Amor spitzet seine Pfeile
Zu der Liebe Krieg. -- 
Junikäfer, Junikäfer, 
Lustig flieg'!

Confirmed with Lautenspielers Lieder: Gedichte von Julius Gersdorff, Dresden, Verlag von Moritz Rätze, 1894, page 13.
