by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Ich hab' kein' Mutter, die mich hegt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Ich hab' kein' Mutter, die mich hegt,
[Die]1 Mutter schläft im Grund.
Ich hab' kein' Buhlen, der mich küßt,
Auf meinen rothen Mund.

Und hab' so große Sehnsucht doch,
Und hab' so jungen Sinn --
Was hab' ich dir, o Gott, gethan,
Daß ich so einsam bin?
