Little bird, where are you going so quickly?

Hermann Jahn-Schulze

Little bird, where are you going so quickly?

"To the north, to the north!

There the sun is shining now so brightly,

and there it has already become springtime."

O little bird with colorful wings,

when you come to the valley of linden trees,

to the house of my beloved,

tell her that day and night

I dream about her and think about her,

and that I have remained faithful.

And to the flowers in the valley,

greet them a thousand times!
