Warnung
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Mein Hund, du, hat dich bloß beknurrt,
Und ich hab' ihn vergiftet;
Und ich hasse jeden Menschen,
Der Zwietracht stiftet.
Zwei blutrote Nelken
Schick' ich dir, mein Blut du,
An der einen eine Knospe;
Den dreien sei gut, du,
Bis ich komme.
Ich komme heute Nacht noch;
Sei allein, sei allein du!
Gestern, als ich ankam,
Starrtest du mit Jemand
Ins Abendrot hinein -- Du:
Denk an meinen Hund!

Warning
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
My dog merely snarled at you,
And I have poisoned him;
And I hate all mankind,
Who provokes quarrels.
Two blood-red carnations
I sent you, my blood for you,
on the one a bud;
Those three should please you,
until I arrive.
I'll come this evening,
Be alone, you must be alone!
Yesterday, when I arrived,
I saw you with someone else
in the sunset! You
should remember my dog!
