Das bittersüsse Lied
 (Sung text for setting by Y. Kilpinen)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FIN
In dem Grünebusch, in dem Grünebusch
Singt die Nachtigall die ganze Nacht;
Singt mit lautem Schall, singt mit lautem Schall,
Daß ich davon bin vom Schlaf erwacht.
 
Singst ja viel zu süß, singst ja viel zu süß,
Nachtigall, vor meinem Kämmerlein;
Singst so bittersüß, singst so bittersüß
Für ein Mädchen, das allein muß sein.
 
Wenn die Sonne scheint, wenn die Sonne scheint,
Kannst du singen immer-, immerzu;
Aber bei der Nacht, aber bei der Nacht
Raubt dein Lied mir alle meine Ruh.
