Fein Rößlein, ich

Lied van een smid

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Hé, paardje goed,
'k Besla je voet,
Wees braaf en vlug
En kom terug!

Draag trouw je heer
En volg de ster,
Die op zijn baan
Hel glanst vooraan.

 ... 

Breng op je tocht
Met elke stap
Je ruiter, ja,
De hemel na!

Nu, paardje goed,
Besla 'k je voet,
Wees braaf en vlug
En kom terug!
