Original text and translations

German text Oben in dem Birnenbaum sitzt ein Vöglein, ganz aus Gold: singt so leis, man hört es kaum, singt so fein und singt so hold. Will die Grete artig sein, hört sie's auch im Birnenbaum, will die Grete artig sein, hat mein liebes Töchterlein einen goldnen Traum.

English translation High up in the cherry tree sits a songbird made of gold, singing low and sweet to thee, while the wings of night unfold. Look! O baby mine and see, how that bird doth brightly gleam in the flow'ry cherry tree, soon it will fondly fling to thee a golden dream.
