O gib mir nicht die volle Rose
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
O gib mir nicht die [volle]1 Rose,
Die man nur Glückserkornen [reicht;]2
Mir ziemt die [kühle]3 Herbstzeitlose,
Die auf dem Grab des Sommer [bleicht]4.
Sie spricht von tiefem Heimverlangen
Und kündet, daß auf immerdar
Ein Glück an uns vorbeigegangen,
Das unbeschreiblich selig war.

Colchique
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Oh, ne me donnez pas la rose toute ouverte
Qui est seulement destinée à ceux qui sont destinés au bonheur.
Pour moi le terne colchique convient,
Qui fleurit sur la tombe l'été.
Il parle du profond désir pour le foyer
Et annonce que pour toujours
Un bonheur est parti pour nous
Qui était incroyablement beau !
