{image of a young women}                       Wenn ich ein     Vöglein wär     und auch zwei     Flügel hätt',     flög ich zu dir,     Weil's aber     nicht kann sein,     bleib ich allhier.     Volkslied                 {image of a small bird, singing} {with a pattern of eleven flowers}

My knowledge of the German Language is non-existent. I understand however that a rough translation of this folk song is:

If I were a little bird,
And had two little wings,
I'd fly to you!
But since it cannot be,
I shall stay right here.
Folk song

The design of this bookmark is the same as cash-bm0126: A week of birthdays - 11 flowers at pointed end. The German translation though is not the same verse.
