In allen benachbarten Gärten
Language: German (Deutsch)
In allen benachbarten Gärten, da blühen die Rosen so schön, in meiner Geliebten Garten seh' ich keine einzige steh'n! Frau Nachtigall, die schlaue, die süße Geheimnisse weiß, die hat mir den Grund verraten, sie sang es mir zu ganz leis': Die Rosen, die können nicht blühen, denn sie vergehen vor Neid! Weil du mit der schönsten der Rosen genießest die seligste Freud'!

The Roses
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
In all of the gardens around me The roses are blooming serene; But in my belov'd one's garden No roses are there to be seen! The Nightingale, that sly one, The sweet secret only doth know; She whispered last night the reason, She sang it me soft and low: Poor Roses, they only can perish, They die of envy and fall; you pass all the day with your lov'd one, A rose that is fairer than all!
