Miz Presents...
Wer hat dies Liedlein erdacht? (Who thought up this little song?)
from Des Knaben Wunderhorn (A Young Magic Horn)
Hello, let me presents this sweet little song, composed by an Bohemian-Austrian composer, Gustav Mahler (1860 - 1911). This song is written for a soprano voice (which is generally for a girl to sing), in German language. If I'm not wrong, it describes about this beautiful daughter of an innkeeper inside a house.
Wer hat dies Liedlein erdacht?
Dort oben am Berg in dem hohen Haus,
Da guckt ein fein's lieb's Mädel heraus,
Es ist nicht dort daheime,
Es ist des Wirts sein Töchterlein,
Es wohnt auf grüner Heide.
"Mein Herze ist wund,
komm Schätzel mach's gesund!
Dein schwarzbraune Äuglein,
Die haben mich vertwundt!
Dein rosiger Mund
Macht Herzen gesund.
Macht Jugend verständig,
Macht Tote lebendig,
Macht Kranke gesund."
Wer hat denn das schöne Liedlein erdacht?
Es haben's drei Gäns übers Wasser gebracht,
Zwei graue und eine weiße;
Und wer das Liedlein nicht singen kann,
Dem wollen sie es pfeifen.
Who thought up this little song?
Up there on the mountain, in a high-up house,
a lovely, darling girl looks out of the window.
She does not live there,
she is the daughter of the innkeeper,
and she lives on the green meadow.
"My heart is sore!
Come, my treasure, make it well again!
Your dark brown eyes
have wounded me.
Your rosy mouth
makes hearts healthy.
It makes young wise,
brings the dead to life,
gives health to the ill."
Who has thought up this pretty little song then?
It was brought over the water by three geese -
two grey and one white -
and if you cannot sing the little song,
they will whistle it for you!

Too bad I can't put the song here due to copyright issues, but anyway, you can look out for this song if you are really interested.
Anyway, feel free to add in any description, or any thing about this song. The music itself is meant for a girl to sing, but based on the translation of the lyrics, I'm not really sure why a girl would sing this... Correct me if I'm wrong...
