2. Aus meinen Tränen sprießen [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Aus meinen Tränen sprießen Viel blühende Blumen hervor, Und meine Seufzer werden Ein Nachtigallenchor. Und wenn du mich lieb hast, Kindchen, Schenk' ich dir die Blumen all', Und vor deinem Fenster soll klingen Das Lied der Nachtigall.

3. Ich hab mir lang den Kopf zerbrochen [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich hab mir lang den Kopf zerbrochen, Mit Denken und Sinnen, Tag und Nacht, Doch deine liebenswürdigen Augen, Sie haben mich zum Entschluß gebracht. Jetzt bleib ich, wo deine Augen leuchten, In ihrer süßen, klugen Pracht - Daß ich noch einmal würde lieben, Ich hätt es nimmermehr gedacht.
