by Rudolph Baumbach (1840 - 1905)

Amsel in dem schwarzen Kleid
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Amsel in dem schwarzen Kleid
Treff' ich hier dich wieder?
O wie gern zur Maienzeit
Hört' ich deine Lieder!
Und nun [sitzt du stumm und still]1
In den Rebenschlingen. --
"Wenn der Vogel naschen will,
Pflegt er nicht zu singen."

Heda, Geigerlein, wohin?
Ei, was muss ich sehen!
Um das Haus der Winzerin
Schleichst du auf den Zehen.
Nimm hervor [das]2 Saitenspiel,
Lass ein Stücklein klingen!
"Wenn der Vogel naschen will,
Pflegt er nicht zu singen."
