An die Grille
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Zirpe, liebe kleine
Sängerin der Haine,
zirpe nur in Ruh'!
Wollen dich nicht stören,
laß dein Liedchen hören,
sing' nur immer zu, immer, immer zu!

Grillchen! Erdenfreuden
bleichen bald und scheiden
oft in einem Nu;
sollst dich drum nich scheuen,
sollst dich herzlich freuen,
sing' nur immer zu, immer, immer zu!

Wenn an grünen Spitzen
Perlen Taues blitzen,
trinkst, o Sänger, du!
und versingst den Morgen,
unterm Moos verborgen,
sing' nur immer zu, immer, immer zu!

Eh' der Abend tauet,
ach, vielleicht umgrauet
dich des Grabes Ruh'!
drum am Blumenhügel
sonne deine Flügel,
sing' nur immer zu, immer, immer zu!
