Jägerlied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Jäger, was jagst du die Häselein? Häselein jag' ich, das muß so sein. Jäger, was steht dir im Auge dein? Tränen wohl sind es, das muß so sein. Jäger, was hast du im Herzelein? Liebe und Leiden, das muß so sein. Jäger, wann holst du dein Liebchen heim? Nimmer, ach nimmer, das muß so sein.
