lyrics

Mein Engelchen, mein Engelchen,
Du willst gewiß entfliegen!
Gefällt dirs nicht bei uns? o sprich!
So ungeduldig seh’ ich dich
Auf deinen Schwingen wiegen.

Mein Engelchen, mein Engelchen,
Du willst gewiß entschweben!
Du wirst ja schöner jeden Tag,
Es zittert meines Herzens Schlag,
Du wirst zu schön fürs Leben.

Mein Engelchen, mein Engelchen,
Du willst gewiß entfallen
Wirst jede Stunde lieber mir,
Ich fühls mit Furcht, ich hab’ an dir
Zu großes Wohlgefallen.

...

My little angel, my little angel,
You certainly want to fly away!
Don't you like it with us? O speak!
So impatiently I see you
Sway on your wings.

My little angel, my little angel,
You certainly want to float away!
You get more beautiful every day
My heart trembles,
You will be too beautiful for life.

My little angel, my little angel,
You certainly want to get away
By the hour dear me.
I am afraid, you give me
Too much pleasure.
