No. 11 - Song - Elsa
| Elsa: | When I was a Mädchen wee, Gentlemen I oft would see Turning round to look at me As I pass'd them by; Sometimes too they stopp'd and smiled When I ask'd them why-- Kisses from me they beguiled as they made reply; Meine kleine Mädel Don't you understand, Such a pet I never yet have met In the Fatherland! If for any sweetheart I should ever pine, All the while it'll by for shy little Mädel mine. Meine kleine Mädel Don't you understand, Such a pet I never yet have met In the Fatherland! If for any sweetheart I should ever pine, All the while it'll by for shy little Mädel mine. |
| Now though I am older grown, Gentlemen I oft have known Speak to me in tender tone When they got a chance. Bold Hussars in blue or red, When with me they dance, Softly in my ear have said, With a sidelong glance: Meine kleine Mädel Don't you understand, Such a pet I never yet have met In the Fatherland! If for any sweetheart I should ever pine, All the while it'll by for shy little Mädel mine. Meine kleine Mädel Don't you understand, Such a pet I never yet have met In the Fatherland! If for any sweetheart I should ever pine, All the while it'll by for shy little Mädel mine. |
