Die Mandoline
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Ich bin der Mandoline gleich, Die dort im Saal vergessen steht; An wunderbaren Klange reich, Der tief zu Herzen geht. Doch alles bleibt in ihrer Brust, Der Lieder reiche Zauberglut, Und alles Weh, und alle Lust, Denn ach, ihr Meister ruht.
