Das ist ein Flöten und Geigen
There's Flutes and Fiddles playing

Dichterliebe A Poet's Love

Heine

There's flutes and fiddles playing
And trumpets, tan tara ta.
My dearest is dancing her wedding dance,
I can see her from afar.

Cymbals clash, and bagpipes,
And drums and a clarionet;
Amidst it all, sobbing and sighing,
Angels express their regret.
