Meine Rose
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Dem holden Lenzgeschmeide,
Der Rose, meiner Freude,
Die schon gebeugt und blasser
Vom heißen Strahl der Sonnen,
Reich' ich den Becher Wasser
Aus [tiefem]1 Bronnen.
Du Rose meines Herzens!
Vom stillen Strahl des Schmerzens
Bist du gebeugt und blasser;
Ich möchte dir zu Füßen,
Wie dieser Blume Wasser,
Still meine Seele gießen!
Könnt' ich dann auch nicht sehen
Dich [auferstehen]2.

Ma rose
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Au beau joyau du printemps,
A la rose, ma joie,
Qui déjà ploie et pâlit
Des rayons brûlants du soleil,
J'apporte une coupe d'eau
D'un [profond]1 puits.
Ô rose de mon coeur !
Par le silencieux trait de la douleur
Tu dois ployer et pâlir ;
Je voudrais à tes pieds,
Comme l'eau à cette fleur,
En silence verser mon âme !
Même si je ne pouvais alors plus
Te [voir te]2 dresser à nouveau.
