Our translations: ENG
Es tönt in meinen Ohren Ein seltsam müder Klang, Ein altes, kleines Liedchen, Das meine Mutter sang. Ein Königskindermärchen Voll Sehnen und voll Licht, Ein Lied von einer Rose, Die im Erblühen bricht. Ich seh' der Mutter Locken, Seh' ihre bleiche Hand, Sie trällert leis' das Liedchen, Das ich nie recht verstand.
