Our verse is delightful, although its
Not easy to understand.
We’re the flower and crown of the nation,
The crown and flower of the earth,
But we find our remuneration
Inadequate to our worth.
We sing of “Sehnsucht” and “Trauer,”
“Die Liebe,” “Das Herz” and “Die Welt,”
But leider, we haven’t the power,
To sing from the public “Das Geld.”
