 (Sung text for setting by R. Stöhr)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Zwitschert nicht vor meinem Fenster,
  Liebe Vögelein!
Sucht euch eine and're Stelle,
  Liebe Vögelein!

Setzt euch nicht auf Kerkergitter,
  Liebe Vögelein!
In der Seele des Gefang'nen
  Weckend Sehnsuchtspein.

Setzt euch nicht auf Grabeshügel
  Liebe Vögelein,
Höhnend mit der Lenzeskunde
  Frierendes Gebein.

Singet nicht dem Ungeliebten,
  Der so ganz allein:
Zwitschert nicht vor meinem Fenster,
  Liebe Vögelein!
