Lyrics for Schumann's two Grenadiers - does anyone have them?

[maggiethecat]

DD needs to learn the lyrics and despite online trawl, cannot seem to find them.

Hi. As far as I know, this is based upon the Heine poem Der Beiden Greadiere. This is a German poem, so translations differ but there is a good one www.classicalconnect.com/Baritone/Schumann/Beiden_Grenadiere/1866

If it is to be sung, she will probably need a different set of lyrics which will have been changed to fit the original music. You can download an print that at

Hope that helps.

Thanks BFP. Her teacher was singing along the other day - 'there once were 2 grenadiers......' This is for the piece taken from a Suzuki book. The wording is important because of the technical elements being taught with this piece.

May just have to wait for teacher to supply words.
