Wie pocht mir vor Lust Das Herz in der Brust! Mit den Vögeln möcht's in die Wipfel! Und hinauf auf der Berge Gipfel! Und wieder in schäumigen Fällen Hinab mit den stürzenden Quellen! Dann aber unten im grünenden Thal Empor mit des Springquells steigendem Stral! Ich habe zum Pfand Den Ring an der Hand! Heut mag noch manches Begehren Mit süßer Täuschung sich nähren: Ja schaut nach der Schönen noch heute, Morgen wissen es alle Leute: Heut aber wissen wir's nur allein, Ich bin schön Röschens und Röschen ist mein! Wie pocht mir vor Lust Das Herz in der Brust! Mit den Vögeln möcht's in die Wipfel! Und hinauf auf der Berge Gipfel! Und wieder in schäumigen Fällen Hinab mit den stürzenden Quellen! Dann aber unten im grünenden Thal Empor mit des Springsquells steigendem Stral!

How I pulse with pleasure The heart within my chest! It wants to go to the treetops with the birds! And up on the mountain peak! And again in foamy waterfalls Down with the converging streams! But then down in the green valley Upwards with the rising jet of the spring! I have as a promise The ring on the hand! Today there may still be many desires Nourishing themselves with sweet deception: Yes, look after the beauty even today; Tomorrow everyone will know, But today we alone know it, I am beautiful Rosebud’s, and Rosebud is mine! How I pulse with pleasure The heart within my chest! It wants to go to the treetops with the birds! And up on the mountain peak! And again in foamy waterfalls Down with the converging streams! But then down in the green valley Upwards with the rising jet of the spring!
