1.<br />
Zigeunerlieder<br />
He, Zigeuner, greife in die Saiten ein!<br />
Spiel das Lied vom ungetreuen Mägdelein!<br />
Laß die Saiten weinen, klagen, traurig bange,<br />
Bis die heiße Träne netzet diese Wange!<br />
Gypsy Songs<br />
Hey, gypsy, pluck your strings!<br />
Play the song of the unfaithful maiden!<br />
Let the strings weep and lament, mournful<br />
and despairing,<br />
Until hot tears flow down these cheeks!<br />

Hochgetürmte Rimaflut<br />
Wie bist du so trüb;<br />
An dem Ufer klag ich<br />
Laut nach dir, mein Lieb!<br />
Wellen fliehen, Wellen strömen,<br />
Rauschen an dem Strand heran zu mir.<br />
An dem Rimaufer laß mich<br />
Ewig weinen nach ihr!<br />
High-towering River Rima,<br />
How murky you are;<br />
On the w<strong>at</strong>er’s edge I lament<br />
Loudly for you, my beloved!<br />
The waves flee, the waves stream by,<br />
Roaring toward me on the shore;<br />
At the edge of the Rima let me<br />
Weep for her forever!<br />

Wisst ihr, wann mein Kindchen<br />
Am allerschönsten ist?<br />
Wenn ihr süßes Mündchen<br />
Scherzt und lacht und küßt<br />
Schätzelein, / Du bist mein,<br />
Inniglich / Küß ich dich,<br />
Dich erschuf der liebe Himmel<br />
Einzig nur für mich!<br />
Wißt ihr, wann mein Liebster<br />
Am besten mir gefällt?<br />
Wenn in seinen Armen<br />
Er mich umschlungen hält.<br />
Schätzelein, / Du bist mein,<br />
Inniglich / Küß ich dich,<br />
Dich erschuf der liebe Himmel<br />
Einzig nur für mich!<br />
Do you know when my beloved<br />
is the fairest?<br />
When her sweet little mouth<br />
jests and laughs and kisses.<br />
My treasure, / you are mine;<br />
dearly I kiss you,<br />
Dear heaven cre<strong>at</strong>ed you<br />
for me alone!<br />
Do you know when my beloved<br />
pleases me the best?<br />
When he enfolds me<br />
in his arms' embrace.<br />
My treasure, you are mine;<br />
dearly I kiss you,<br />
Dear heaven cre<strong>at</strong>ed you<br />
for me alone!<br />
