Vöglein mein Bote
 (Sung text for setting by V. Blodek)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Vöglein, flieg fort, 
Vöglein, komm' wieder!
Flieg' zu der Liebsten hin 
Und setz' dich nieder.
Sieh, was sie thut, 
Ob sie dem Fernen gut,
Ob sie an mich gedacht, 
Vöglein, gib Acht!

Vöglein, flieg' fort, 
Vöglein, komm' wieder!
Trag' zu der Liebsten hin
All' meine Lieder;
Sag': „Er ist dein, 
Kann ohne dich nicht sein,
Lebt nur allein für dich!“ 
Vöglein, so sprich!

Vöglein, flieg' fort, 
Vöglein, komm' wieder!
Nimm ihren Liebesgruß 
Auf dein Gefieder!
Wenn sie dich fragt 
Und dir viel Schönes sagt
Bring' mir's im raschen Flug, 
Vöglein, sei klug!
