Our translations: DUT
Komm, Liebchen, komm! Die Nacht ist hell, Und frische Lüftchen gaukeln. Wie möcht' ich dich auf leiser Well' Mit schlankem Kahne schaukeln. Komm, Liebchen, komm! Uns ruft die Nacht, Mein Herz schlägt treu und ehrlich; Die Mutter schläft, dein Liebster wacht, Was wäre da gefährlich?
