künden schon des Lenzes Triebe.
Rosenrote Wangen
Deuten Mädchens erste Liebe.

Red rosebuds herald the arrival of Spring

Language: English after the German (Deutsch) 

 Red rosebuds 
 herald the arrival of Spring.
 Rose-red cheeks
 mean a maiden's first love.
 Little red bird,
 fly off to the red rose!
 The lad is going to the rosy
 maiden to woo her!
