Min lille Fugl (Andersen, set by E. Grieg, N. Gade, C. Nielsen) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Min lille Fugl, hvor flyver du
imellem grønne Grene?
Ak, mon jeg rinder dig ihu?
mit Hjerte briste vil itu!
O Gud, hvor jeg dog er ene!
O Gud, hvor jeg dog er ene!

Du sagde, at du var mig god;
ja godt mig alle mene,
men hvis du ret min Sorg forstod,
du kom, du sang mig Sjælemod;
da sad jeg ikke alene,
da sad jeg ikke alene!

Min lille Fugl, du kommer ej
fra dine grønne Grene;
jeg stille vandre maa min Vej;
ak, ingen elsker dig som jeg!
O Gud, hvor jeg dog er ene!
O Gud, hvor jeg er dog ene!
