Im Regen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Zählt man die Zeit im Jahr, Drin freudvoll war ein Herz, Sind's wen'ge Tage nur, Die andern trug es Schmerz. Zählt man die Zeit im Jahr, Drin blau der Himmel blieb, Sind's wen'ge Tage nur, Die andern waren trüb. Drum, da der Himmel selbst So oft in Tränen steht, Klag' nimmer, Menschenherz, Daß dir's nicht besser geht.
