Ich wollte, meine Lieder
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich wollte, meine Lieder Das wären Blümelein: Ich schickte sie zu riechen Der Herzallerliebsten mein. Ich wollte, meine Lieder Das wären Küsse fein: Ich schickt sie heimlich alle Nach Liebchens Wängelein. Ich wollte, meine Lieder Das wären Erbsen klein: Ich kocht eine Erbsensuppe, Die sollte köstlich sein.

I would that all these songs
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I would that all these songs of mine Were flowers rare and sweet. I'd bid them all exhale their odour At my darling's feet. I would that all these songs of mine Were kisses soft and true. I'd send them secretly in turn To bear my love to you.
