Es kommen die Sonnenstrahlen, die feinen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Es kommen die Sonnenstrahlen, die feinen,
Die möchten dir gern in die Augen scheinen,
[Lug' -- lug']1,
Elslein, mach' auf!
 
[Dann]2 kommt die Lerche mit [hellen]3 Schwingen,
Möcht' dir ihr Lied [zu]4 Herzen singen,
Horch' -- horch',
Elslein, mach' auf!
 
Es kommen zum Fenster herein die Rosen,
[Möchten]5 mit deinen Händen kosen,
[Lug' -- lug']1,
Elslein, mach' auf!
 
Bald kommt dein Liebster auch gegangen,
Der [möcht' dir]6 küssen Mund und Wangen,
Horch' -- horch',
Elslein, mach' auf!
