by Ludwig Jacobowski (1868 - 1900)

Ständchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Und kommt des Wegs ein Musikant,
Die Fiedel auf dem Rücken, 
Den will ich durch das weite Land 
Zu meiner Liebsten schicken. 

  Und wenn die ganze Stadt erwacht, 
Geh fideln auf den Gassen! 
Du sollst in dieser Sommernacht 
Kein Mädchen schlafen lassen. 

  Der Wächter bleibt verwundert stehn, 
Kein Brunnen soll mehr rauschen. 
Der Mond vergißt das Weitergehn, 
Um deinem Klang zu lauschen! 

  Und hört es auch die ganze Stadt, 
Du spielst ja nur für Eine; 
Die beide Fenster offen hat, 
Die ist es, die ich meine . . .
