Bitte an den Mond by 2|Anonymous|Friedrich Silcher — Lyrics
Du Mond, i hätt' a Bitt an di,
die därfst mer ober nit versag'n,
o geh' und lass mi auf a Nacht
dein silberns G'wandel trag'n.
La la la la.
I möcht so gern durchs Fensterl nei,
zum liebe Schätzerl eini schaug'n
und mir amol was z'Gute tun
an ihre blaue Aug'n.
La la la la.

About Bitte an den Mond
This German song, with lyrics attributed to Friedrich Silcher, is a charming secular piece for solo high voice. The text expresses a tender, almost whimsical plea to the moon. The singer asks the moon to lend them its silver glow for a night so they can peer through a loved one's window. The longing deepens as the singer wishes to offer a kiss, a kiss that carries their heart and life. The song concludes with a romantic fantasy of sinking into the beloved's blue eyes, a poignant image of devotion, all set to a simple, memorable tune.
