by Gustav Falke (1853 - 1916)

Das unscheinbare Vögelchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Ein unscheinbares Vögelchen
sitzt auf seinem Ast
und singt sein schlichtes Abendlied,
Ein kleiner, scheuer Gast.

Das unscheinbare Vögelchen
rührt mich, wie es singt.
Mir ist, als ob mein eigen Herz
ihm aus der Kehle klingt.

Du unscheinbares Vögelchen,
wir beide sind verwandt,
wir kommen - du, dein Lied und ich -
aus Einem Heimatland.
