from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Mein Mädel hat einen Rosenmund
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE IRI
Mein Mädel hat einen Rosenmund,
Und wer ihn küßt, der wird gesund;
O du! o du! o du!
O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein,
Du la la la la!
Du läßt mir keine Ruh!

Die Wangen sind wie Morgenröt
Wie sie steht überm Winterschnee.
O du, o du, o du!
O du, schwarzbraunes Mägdelein, du 
lalalalala!
Du läßt mir keine Ruh!

Dein Augen sind wie die Nacht so schwarz, 
Wenn nur zwei Sternlein funkeln drin;
O du! o du! o du!
O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein,
Du la la la la!
Du läßt mir keine Ruh!

Du Mädel bist wie der Himmel gut,
Wenn er über uns blau sich wölben tut;
O du! o du! o du!
O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein,
Du la la la la!
Du läßt mir keine Ruh!
