Tambourliedchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Den Wirbel schlag' ich gar so stark, Daß euch erzittert Bein und Mark, Drum denk' ich ans schön Schätzelein, Blaugrau, Blau, Blaugrau, Blau Ist seiner Augen Schein. Und denk' ich an den Schein so hell, Von selber dämpft das Trommelfell, Den wilden Ton, klingt hell und rein: Blaugrau, Blau, Blaugrau, Blau Sind Liebchens Äugelein.
