1. Hüte dich!   [sung text not yet checked]

Nachtigall, hüte dich!
Singe nicht so lieblich!
Ach, dein allzuschönes Singen
Wird dich um die Freiheit bringen.
  [Hüte]1 dich!

Schöne Blume, hüte dich,
Blühe nicht [so]2 glühend,
Dufte nicht so voll Entzücken!
Wer dich siehet, will dich pflücken,
  [Hüte]1 dich!

Schönes Mädchen, hüte dich!
Lächle nicht so gütig!
Deine Schönheit, deine Güte --
Denk' an Nachtigall und Blüte.
  [Hüte,
  Hüte]3 dich!

2. Die Nachtigall  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Das]1 macht, es hat die Nachtigall
Die ganze [Nacht]2 gesungen;
Da sind von ihrem süssen Schall,
Da sind [in]3 Hall und Widerhall
Die [Rosen]4 aufgesprungen.
 
Sie war doch sonst ein wildes [Kind]5,
[Nun]6 geht sie [tief]7 in Sinnen,
Trägt in der Hand den Sommerhut
Und duldet [still]8 der Sonne Glut
Und weiß nicht, was beginnen.

Das macht, es hat die Nachtigall
Die ganze Nacht gesungen;
Da sind von ihrem süssen Schall,
Da sind [in]3 Hall und Widerhall
Die [Rosen]4 aufgesprungen.
