4 Songs

Song Cycle by Otto Stoll (1889 - 1968)

4. Volksweise  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mich rührt so sehr
böhmischen Volkes Weise,
schleicht sie ins Herz sich leise,
macht sie es schwer.

Wenn ein Kind sacht
singt beim Kartofeljäten,
klingt dir sein Lied im späten
Traum noch der Nacht.

Magst du auch sein
weit über Land gefahren,
fällt es dir doch nach Jahren
stets wieder ein.
