There come the sunbeams, the delicate...
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
There come the sunbeams, the delicate ones, They would gladly shine into your eyes, Peek -- peek, Elsie, open up! [Then the lark comes with bright wings]1, It would like to sing you a song that will penetrate your heart, Hark -- hark, Elsie, open up! In through your window the roses come, They would like to exchange caresses with your hands, Peek -- peek, Elsie, open up! Soon along comes your beloved as well, He would like to kiss your lips and cheeks, Hark -- hark, Elsie, open up!
