Wenn die Sonne lieblich schiene
Wie in Welschland lau und blau,
Ging' ich mit der Mandoline
Durch die überglänzte Au.

In der Nacht das Liebchen lauschte
An dem Fenster süß verwacht;
Wünschte mir und ihr, uns Beiden,
Heimlich eine schöne Nacht.

Wenn die Sonne lieblich schiene
Wie in Welschland lau und blau,
Ging' ich mit der Mandoline
Durch die überglänzte Au.
