Chor: Was klingen denn die Hörner Im Morgendämmerschein, Was bringen sie ein Ständchen Vor ihrem Kämmerlein? Hochzeit wird gefeiert! Wörtlein, ach so süß, Schlüsslein zu dem trauten Eheparadies! Hochzeit wird gefeiert! Röslein, auf, erwach'! Fei're froh noch deinen Letzten Mädchentag! Sopran: Die Kirchenglocken klingen, Und vor des Heilands Bild Hat sich aus ihrem Traume Die Wahrheit schön enthüllt. Frauenchor: Den Bund der treuen Herzen Hat Priestermund geweiht, Den Schwur der treuen Liebe Schrieb ein die Ewigkeit.

Chorus: Why are the horns resounding In the dim early light of morning? Why are they performing a serenade Before the door of her chamber? Nuptials are being celebrated! Word, ah so sweet! It is the key to the snug Paradise of marriage! Nuptials are being celebrated! Little Rose, get up, awaken, Celebrate happily The last day of your maidenhood! Soprano: The churchbells ring, And before the Saviour's image From out of their dream Reality has revealed itself beautifully. Women's Chorus: The union of [their] faithful hearts Has been sanctified by the priest, Their vow of faithful love Has been recorded by eternity.
