Song:Songs My Mother Taught Composer:MeAntonín Dvořák
Songs my mother taught me In the days long vanished Seldom from her eyelids Were the teardrops banished Now I teach my children Each melodious measure Oft the tears are flowing Oft they flow from my memory's treasure.
Als die alte Mutter mich noch lehrte singen, tränen in den Wimpern gar so oft ihr hingen. Jetzt, wo ich die Kleinen selber üb im Sange, rieselt's in den Bart oft, rieselt's oft von der braunen Wange.
