Waldvögelein! Wie singst du heut'
Language: German (Deutsch)
Waldvögelein! Wie singst du heut'
So [herziglieb]1, wie nie zuvor!
Möcht' fliegen ja vor lauter Freud'
Ein Vöglein hoch zu Gott empor!
Hast du denn auch heut' über Nacht
Dein Frühlingslieb im Traum gesehn?
Waldvögelein gieb du nur Acht!
Mit dir und mir wird was geschehn!

Little forest bird!
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Little forest bird!
You sing today with such loving sweetness as never before!
In sheer delight a little bird might even
Fly up high to God!
So did you also see today
Your spring lover in a dream at night?
Just be careful, little forest bird!
Something will happen with you and me!
