Nun stehn die Rosen in Blüte

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Nun stehn die Rosen in Blüte, 
Da wirft die Lieb' ein Netzlein aus. 
Du schwanker, loser Falter, 
Du hilfst dir nimmer heraus!

Und wenn ich wäre gefangen 
In dieser jungen Rosenzeit, 
Und wär's die Haft der Liebe, 
Ich müßte vergehen vor Leid.

Ich mag nicht sehnen und sorgen; 
Durch blühende Wälder schweift mein Lauf. 
Die luft'gen Lieder fliegen 
Bis in die Wipfel hinauf.

Maintenant les roses sont en fleurs

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Add this translation to the Basket | Add tr by R. Schumann

Maintenant les roses sont en fleurs,
L'amour lance ses filets,
Papillon indécis et frivole,
Tu ne pourras jamais t'en tirer.

Et si j'étais attrapé
En ce temps de jeunes roses,
Et si c'était la captivité de l'amour,
Je disparaîtrais de chagrin.

Je ne veux pas être nostalgique ni me soucier :
À travers la forêt en fleurs ma course erre.
Les chants légers volent
Jusqu'au sommet des arbres.
