Warum zum Liede willst du mich zwingen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Warum zum Liede willst du mich zwingen? Du weißt, kann selten von Freude singen. Warum willst hören du meinen Sang, wenn du weißt, wie mir es ums Herze bang? Es ist so schwer, einen Ton zu finden, wenn Sorg' und Tränen die Sinne binden, wenn man weiß, dass der Töne Flut hier quillt hervor aus dem Herzeblut!
