Ein kleiner, hübscher Voge Johannes Brahms
from Liebeslieder Waltzes (1833–1897)
A little, pretty bird flew to the garden where fruit was plentiful.
if i were a pretty little bird, i’d not delay; i’d do just as he did.
Treacherous, sticky sap lies in ambush;
The poor bird could not esacape.
if i were a pretty little bird, i’d definitely delay; i’d not do as he did.
The bird was freed by a lovely hand;
no harm came to the happy little bird.
if i were a pretty little bird, i’d not delay. i’d certainly do as he did.
