Blau Äugelein
 (Sung text for setting by W. Heiser)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Blau-Äugelein, Blau-Äugelein,
Sprich, warum weinest Du?
Was trübte Deinen Sonnenschein,
Wer nahm dir Deine Ruh'?
Blau Äugelein, blau Äugelein,
Ach, lass das Weinen sein!

Blau-Äugelein, Blau-Äugelein,
Bezähme Deinen Schmerz,
Denn stellst Du nicht das Weinen ein,
So bricht auch mir das Herz.
Blau Äugelein, blau Äugelein,
Ach, lass das Weinen sein!

Blau-Äugelein, Blau-Äugelein,
Erzähl' mir Deinen Gram:
Wer mag der kühne Räuber sein
Der Dir den Frieden nahm?
Blau Äugelein, blau Äugelein,
Ach, lass das Weinen sein!

Blau-Äugelein, Blau-Äugelein,
So thränenvoll Dein Blick,
Weinst du vielleicht, Hold-Liebchen mein,
Um abgeblühtes Glück?
Blau Äugelein, blau Äugelein,
Ach, lass das Weinen sein!

Blau-Äugelein, Blau-Äugelein,
Errieth' ich Deinen Schmerz,
Vergönne, das ich mit Dir wein',
Gebrochen ist mein Herz.
Blau Äugelein, blau Äugelein,
Ach, lass das Weinen sein!

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the word "Äugelein" becomes "Aeugelein", but as can be seen in how "über" becomes "Ueber" when capitalized, this is due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, so we use "Äugelein".

Composition:

    Set to music by Wilhelm Heiser (1816 - 1897), "Blau Äugelein", op. 8, published 1847 [ voice and piano ], Berlin, Challier und Co.
