Die wilden Nelken haben's geseh'n
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die wilden Nelken haben's geseh'n,
Als ich den Mund dir bot,
Und seh' ich am Rain nun Nelken steh'n,
Werd' ich wie Blut so roth.
Es läßt mir nicht Rast, es läßt mir nicht Ruh',
Ich pflücke sie alle ab --
Darf Keines wissen als ich und du,
Daß ich geküßt dich hab'!

The wild carnations saw it
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The wild carnations saw it
When I offered you my lips,
And when I now see carnations along the marge,
I blush as red as blood.
It leaves me no rest, it leaves me no peace,
I pick them, every one --
For none can know but you and I
That I kissed you!
