Das Wiesengras
 (Sung text for setting by Y. Kilpinen)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FIN
Das Wiesengras ist lang und weich, 
die Sonne flammt und glüht,
um rote Disteln zittert die Luft,
die ganze Wiese blüht.
 
Wie Wachen, stark und scharf gewehrt
die Disteln um uns blühn,
weich ist und lang das Wiesengras,
und deine Lippen glühn.
 
Deine glühenden Lippen zittern leicht,
wie Blumenblätter im Wind,
deine Lippen, die viel roter noch
wie die roten Blumen sind.
 
Ich sehe die roten Blumen nicht,
ich sehe dich nur an,
und küße deinen roten Mund
so lange ich küßen kann.
