Lied eines Kindes

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Lauter Freude fühl' ich,
Lauter Liebe hör' ich,
Ich so überglücklich
Fröhlich spielend Kind.

Dort der gute Vater,
Hier die liebe Mutter,
Rundherum wir Kinder
Froh und fröhlich sind.

Note: the music for the final line was supplied by Reinhard van Hoorickx because Schubert's fragment breaks off after a repetition of the preceding line (stanza 2, line 3).

Louter vreugde voel ik,
Louter liefde hoor ik,

Blij en welgezind.
