i am looking for a recording of the twelve robbers sung in german
"The twelve robbers" (Zhilo Dvenadsat Razboinikov) is actually an old Russian song, usually sung in Russian, though you may be thinking of a German translation I'm unaware of. It's a traditional Russian setting of a poem by Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov (1821-1878).
