The little beauties dance two by two,
(It is the red rose
That blooms in happy gardens,)
But after the dance, where do they go then?
Two by two, the little beauties?

The little beauties dance three by three,
(It is the pink rose
That blooms on narrow paths,)
But after the dance, where do they go then?
Three by three, the little beauties?

The little beauties dance four in a circle,
(It is the fair rose
That blooms near the morning glories,)
But after the dance, where do they go then?
Four in a circle, the little beauties?

The little beauties go off two by two,
To their dear friend over there
In the happy gardens,
But in the gardens did not find him,
Two by two, the little beauties!

The little beauties go off three by three,
To their dear friend over there
On the narrow paths,
But on the paths did not find him,
Three by three, the little beauties!

The little beauties go off four in a circle,
To their dear friend over there
Where the morning glories are,
But in the morning glories did not find him,
Four in a circle, the little beauties!

The little beauties are greatly concerned
(It is the black rose
That blooms on this rose bush here,)
On the branches of the aspen they hang themselves,
All together the little beauties.

The little beauties are in heaven lovely
(It is the blue rose
That blooms in paradise,)
And their dear friend, they have found him at last, 
Two by two, three by three,
Four in a circle too, the little beauties!
