Nelken
 (Sung text for setting by R. Leberl)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Ich wand ein Sträußchen morgens früh,
Das ich der Liebsten schickt;
Nicht ließ ich sagen ihr, von wem,
Und wer die Blumen pflückt.

Doch als ich Abends kam zum Tanz
Und that verstohlen und sacht,
Da trug sie die Nelken am Busenlatz
Und schaute mich an und lacht.
