Mozart: Die Zauberflöte, K. 620, Act I : "Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja"

Swap to German
I am the bird catcher, yes
Always funny heissa hopsasa!
I am a bird catcher
For old and young throughout the country
White with the Lokken umzugehn
And to understand whistling!
That's why I can be happy and funny
Because all birds are mine
I am the bird catcher, yes
Always funny heissa hopsasa!
I am known to Vogenfänger
For old and young throughout the country
I want a network for girls
I caught her by the dozen!
Then I locked her up with me
And all the girls would be mine
If all girls were mine
So I dutifully exchanged Zukker
The ones that I would like best
I'll give him the Zukker right away
And then she kissed me tenderly
Would she be my wife and I her husband
She fell asleep by my side
I cradled her like a kid
End
