by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Dir muß ich immer singen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dir muß ich immer singen, 
So lang mein Herz noch lebt, 
Wohin auf Traumesschwingen 
Auch meine Sehnsucht schwebt. 

Im Schatten hoher Palmen 
Beim letzten Sonnenstrahl, 
Und auf den grünen Almen 
Im stillen Alpenthal; 

Am Fuß der Pyramiden 
Auf glühend heißem Sand, 
Und in dem milden Frieden 
An Ganga's heil'gem Strand -- 

Wohin auf Traumesschwingen 
Auch meine Sehnsucht schwebt, 
Dir muß ich immer singen, 
So lang mein Herz noch lebt.
