Ein Röslein zog ich mir im Garten, Ich hatte [meine Freude dran]1. Ja, sprach es immer, ich bin dein, Ich blühe nur für dich allein. Ein Röslein zog ich mir im Garten, [Ihm gab ich hin]2 mein ganzes Herz. Wie konnt' ich doch so glücklich sein! Es blühte nur für mich allein. Ein Röslein zog ich mir im Garten, Ein Andrer hat es abgepflückt. Was mich erfreuet hat so sehr, Ich find' es nun und nimmermehr.

Vaig cultivar una petita rosa al jardí i això em donà molta joia. Sí, ella sempre em deia, sóc teva, floreixo tan sols per a tu. Vaig cultivar una petita rosa al jardí, li vaig donar el meu cor sencer. No podia ser més feliç! Ella floria tan sols per a mi. Vaig cultivar una petita rosa al jardí, un altre l’ha collit. Allò que tant goig m’havia donat ara ja no ho trobaré mai més.
