Diese Rose pflück' ich hier
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Diese Rose pflück' ich hier
In der fremden Ferne,
Liebes Mädchen, dir, ach dir,
Brächt' ich sie so gerne!

Doch bis ich zu dir mag ziehn
Viele weite Meilen,
Ist die Rose längst dahin;
Denn die Rosen eilen.

Nie soll weiter sich in's Land
Lieb' von Liebe wagen,
Als sich blühend in der Hand
Läßt die Rose tragen;

Oder als die Nachtigall
Halme bringt zum Neste,
Oder als ihr süßer Schall
Wandert mit dem Weste.

Cette rose, je l'ai cueillie ici
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Cette rose, je l'ai cueillie ici,
Dans un pays lointain,
Tendre amie, à toi, ah, à toi,
Je l'offrirais si volontiers!

Pourtant pour arriver jusqu'à toi
Il y a de longs et nombreux milles,
La rose depuis longtemps serait fanée;
Car les roses sont pressées.

Jamais l'amoureux ne doit s'aventurer
Plus loin de son amour,
Que dans sa main une rose en fleur
Ne pourrait le supporter.

Ou que le rossignol
Qui rapporte une brindille au nid,
Ou que son doux chant
Porté par le vent d'ouest.
