Translation from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Robin Adair
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Treu und herzinniglich, Robin Adair! Tausendmal grüß' ich dich, Robin Adair! Hab' ich doch manche Nacht schlummerlos hingebracht, immer an dich gedacht, Robin Adair! Dort an dem Klippenhang, Robin Adair! Rief ich oft still und bang: Robin Adair! Fort von dem wilden Meer! Falsch ist es, liebeleer, macht nur das Herze schwer, Robin Adair! Mancher wohl warb um mich, Robin Adair! Treu aber liebt' ich dich, Robin Adair! Mögen sie andre frei'n, will ja nur dir allein Leben und Liebe weih'n, Robin Adair!
