from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation

Marienwürmchen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Marienwürmchen, setz' dich,
komm, setze dich auf meine Hand!
Die bunten Flügel lass mich seh'n,
es soll dir nichts zu Leid gescheh'n.

Marienwürmchen, flieg' weg,
dein Häuschen brennt, die Kinder schrei'n,
die böse Spinne spinnt sie ein;
Marienwürmchen, flieg' hinein!

Marienwürmchen, fliege hin,
flieg' hin zu Nachbars Kinde;
sie tut dir nichts zu Leide,
gegrüßt seid alle beide!
