by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Musikantengruß
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Zwei Musikanten ziehn daher
Vom Wald aus weiter Ferne,
Der eine ist verliebt gar sehr,
Der andre wär es gerne.

Die stehn allhier im kalten Wind
Und singen schön und geigen:
Ob nicht ein süßverträumtes Kind
Am Fenster sich wollt' zeigen?

Und durch das Fenster steigen ein
Waldsrauschen und Gesänge,
Da bricht der Sänger mit herein
Im seligen Gedränge.
