In meinen Armen wieg' ich dich

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
In meinen Armen wieg' ich dich,
An meinem Herzen inniglich,
Mit deinen Locken spiele ich,
In deinem Auge seh' ich mich.

Und wenn die Leute fragen mich:
Was sitzest du so still für dich?
In meinen Armen wieg' ich dich,
An meinem Herzen inniglich.

Und fragen sie: was weinest du?,
Ich lächelnd ihnen Antwort thu':
Mit deinen Locken spiele ich,
In deinem Auge seh' ich mich.
Modernized spelling would change "thu' " to "tu' "
