Schon streckt' ich aus im Bett die müden Glieder,
Da tritt dein Bildnis vor mich hin, du Traute.
Gleich spring' ich auf, fahr' in die Schuhe wieder
Und wandre durch die Stadt mit meiner Laute.
Ich sing' und spiele, daß die Straße schallt;
So Manche lauscht - vorüber bin ich bald.
So manches Mädchen hat mein Lied gerührt,
Indeß der Wind schon Sang und Klang entführt.

I had already stretched out my weary limbs in bed
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
I had already stretched out my weary limbs in bed,
When you appeared to me, my love.
Straight up I jump, slip on my shoes again
And wander through the town with my lute.
I sing and play and make the street resound;
So many women listen - I'm quickly past.
So many girls are moved by my song,
When the wind has borne song and sound away.
