Language: German (Deutsch)
Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum! Ei, wir tun dir nichts zuleide, Flieg nur aus in Wald und Heide! Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum! Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum! Such in [Blumen]1, such in Blümchen Dir ein Tröpfchen, dir ein Krümchen Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum! Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum! Kehre heim mit reicher Habe, Bau uns manche volle Wabe, Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum! Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum! Bei den Heilig-Christ-Geschenken Wollen wir auch dein gedenken -- Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum! Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum! Wenn wir mit dem Wachsstock suchen Pfeffernüss und Honigkuchen. Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum!
