from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Vom Vöglein!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Grüß dich Gott mein [lieb]1 Regerl!
Ich komm aus dem Wald,
Hab gefangen ein schöns Vögerl,
Entwischt wär mirs bald.
Ich thät dir's gern schenken,
Nimms an, sey so gut,
Es wird dich nicht kränken,
Weils schön singen thut.

  Ey du mein [liebs]1 Regerl,
Ich bitt dich um Gnad,
Verschaff doch dem Vögerl
Ein Häusle von [Drath]2,
Thu auch nicht vergessen,
Ein Trögerl zum Trank,
Ein Trögerl zum Fressen,
Daß 's dir nit wird krank.
