Vier Lieder im Frühling

Song Cycle by Fredric Myrow

1. Wenn ich in deine Augen seh' [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']¹,
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]² und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]³ muß ich weinen bitterlich.

3. Das macht den Menschen glücklich [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Das macht den Menschen glücklich,
Das macht den Menschen matt,
Wenn er drei sehr schöne Geliebte
Und nur zwei Beine hat.

Der einen lauf ich des Morgens,
Der andern des Abends nach;
Die dritte kommt zu mir des Mittags
Wohl unter mein eignes Dach.

Lebt wohl, ihr drei Geliebten,
Ich hab zwei Beine nur,
Ich will in ländlicher Stille
Genießen die schöne Natur.

Am leuchtenden [Sommermorgen]¹

Es flüstern und sprechen die Blumen,
Und [schaun]³ mitleidig mich an:
Sei [unserer]⁴ Schwester nicht böse,
Du trauriger blasser Mann.
