Warum, holdes Veilchen, So verborgen stehst du? Vor den Blumen allen Süsse Düfte wehst du. Vor den Blumen allen, Die ihr Haupt erheben, Wenn der Lenz zur Erde Bringet neues Leben. Magst dich, holdes Veilchen, Tief im Gras verstecken, Dein balsamisch Düften Lässt dich gleich entdecken. Ist gepaart die Schönheit Edelem Gemüte, Nimmer bleibt verborgen Dann die schöne Blüte. Stiller Tugend Sinnbild, Liebes Veilchen, blühst du, Drum in zartem Purpur Immerdar erglühst du!

Pourquoi, jolie violette, Te tiens-tu si cachée ? Sur toutes les fleurs Tu répands ton doux parfum. Sur toutes les fleurs Qui lèvent leur tête Quand le printemps sur terre Apporte la vie nouvelle. Bien que, jolie violette, Tu te caches profondément dans l'herbe, Ton parfum embaumé Te laisse découvrir. Si la beauté était appariée Avec de nobles sentiments, Jamais ne resterait cachée Une belle fleur. Symbole de la vertu silencieuse, Chère violette, tu fleuris, Aussi en pourpre délicat Que toujours tu brilles !
