by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)

Der Sänger
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT FRE
Noch singt den Widerhallen
Der Knabe sein Gefühl;
Die Elfe hat Gefallen
Am jugendlichen Spiel.

Es glänzen seine Lieder
Wie Blumen rings um ihn;
Sie gehn mit ihm wie Brüder
Durch stille Haine hin.

Er kommt zum Völkerfeste,
Er singt im Königssaal,
Ihm staunen alle Gäste,
Sein Lied verklärt das Mahl;

Der Frauen Schönste krönen
Mit lichten Blumen ihn;
Er senkt das Aug in Tränen,
Und seine Wangen glühn.
