by Ludwig Ganghofer (1855 - 1920)

Ich hab ein trauten Liebgesell
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich hab ein trauten Liebgesell,
Heija!
Der ist als wie der Wind so schnell,
Heija!
Und wenn ich reit auf grüner Au,
In Wald und tiefen Klüften,
Zieht hoch er über mir im Blau
Und grüßt mich aus den Lüften.
Heia ho! Mein Edilo,
Mein weißgefleckter Falke!

Es lag sein Horst, weiß nicht wie weit,
Heija!
Doch kennt er nicht das Heimeleid,
Heija!
Und fliegt er noch so hoch und frei,
Mein Wink beruft ihn schnelle;
So minnet er mich fest und treu,
Recht wie einTrautgeselle.
Heia ho! Mein Edilo,
Mein weißgefleckter Falke!
