Ich habe wenig Lieder In meinem Leben gemacht, Ich singe sie mir und den Mädchen Am Brunnen in der Nacht. Das eine von der Jugend, Die rot unbändig blüht Und nach Streit und Abenteuer In ewiger Sehnsucht glüht. Das andere von den warmen Nächten der Sommerzeit Und von allen schönen Weibern, Um die ich geweint und gefreit. Das dritte sing' ich zur Geige In jeder fremden Stadt, Vom Heimweh des Zigeuners, Der keine Heimat hat.
