by Adelbert von Chamisso (1781 - 1838)

Wohl wandert' ich aus in trauriger Stund
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Wohl wandert' ich aus in trauriger Stund,
Es weinte die Liebe so sehr.
Der Fuß ist mir lahm, die Schulter mir wund,
Das Herz, das ist mir so schwer.

Was singt ihr, ihr Vögel, im Morgenlicht?
Ihr wißt nicht, wie Scheiden tut!
Es drücken euch Sorgen und Schuhe nicht;
Ihr Vögel, ihr habt es gut!
