Auf dem Rhein
 (Sung text for setting by B. Randhartinger)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich fahr' hinunter
Den grünen Rhein!
Am Ufer singen
Die Vögelein.
Die Berge glänzen
In Frühlingspracht
Und alles jubelt
Und alles lacht.

O, wärst Du bei mir,
Mein Schätzlein schön,
Und sähst, wie herrlich
Die sonn'gen Höh'n,
Und hörtest singen
Die Vögelein:
Du stimmtest freudig
In's Lied mit ein!

Dann schaut' ich froher
Auf Strom und Feld,
Dann wär' mir schöner
Die ganze Welt!
Dann jauchzt ich trunken
In sel'ger Lust
In Deinen Armen,
An Deiner Brust!
