Morgenstern Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitzt ein kleiner Vogel
Aus meinem letzten Traum
Kenne ich sein Lied
Er singt es nur f?h
Mit seiner feinen Stimme
Ich sehe zu ihm hinauf
Von meinem Fenstersims
Jetzt hat er mich gesehen
Er fliegt zu mir herab
Seine leichten Fl?br
Schlagen auf und ab
Der kleine gelbe Vogel
Sitzt nun auf meinem Arm
Und wir singen beide
Sein wundersch? Lied
Nach einer kurzen Weile
Hat er es dann Leid
Er l?t mich hier alleine
Er macht die Fl?reit
Er fliegt zu seinem Sitze
In des Baumes Spitze
Und dort singt er wieder
Sein wundersch? Lied
The song "Der gelbe Vogel" by Morgenstern captures the story of a dream of the singer where he sees a small, yellow bird perched high up on a tree. He recognizes the bird's song from his dream and gazes up at him from his window sill. As the bird notices him and flies down, the singer watches in awe as the bird beats its wings up and down, settling on his arm.
Together the two sing the beautiful song which the bird had been singing in his dream. However, after a short while, the yellow bird decides to leave and flies back to the highest branches of the tree whence it came. The song is a beautiful metaphor for fleeting moments of happiness or beauty that we might experience in our lives, like the moment of meeting a beautiful bird, and how they might leave just as suddenly as they came.
The song's metaphor for the transient beauty of life becomes evident when we see how fleeting the interaction between the bird and the singer is. The song also touches upon themes of hope, and how sometimes something as simple as the song of a bird can bring immense joy into our lives. The language Morgenstern uses in the lyrics is breathtakingly beautiful, as he paints a vivid picture of the bird, the tree, and the singer.
