Köchin in der Fremde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Streu' ich Zucker auf die Speise, bin ich wieder auf der Reise ins Gebirge voller Schnee, - wasch' ich vom Salat die Blätter, wandre ich im Frühlingswetter Wiesenwege überm See. Brennt die Flamme blau im Herde, beug' ich nieder mich zur Erde, weil ich so viel Enzian seh'!
