Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Selig einst allein Gingen wir im Hain, Lauschten still am Buchenhang, Was das Vöglein sang. Rosen welkten bald, Stille ward's im Wald, Lang verhallte schon der Klang, Was das Vöglein sang. Goldne Jugendzeit, Wie bist du so weit, Wie ertönet heut' so bang, Was das Vöglein sang.
