by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800 - 1875)

Ich schlage dich, mein Tambourin
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Ich schlage dich, mein Tambourin;
Ich schwinge mich als Tänzerin;
Ich schlage dich so wild, so wild,
Weil ich so trüb, so trübe bin,
Beschwüre gerne meine Pein,
Betäubte gerne meinen Sinn;
Doch ewig ist mein Kummer wach,
Doch ewig ist mein [Friede]1 hin.
Ach, käme dir ein Ahnen nur,
Wie krank ich im Gemüthe bin,
Du tönetest nur Herzeleid
Ob deiner armen Schlägerin.
