Der Abendschlummer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA
Frauenchor:
 Der Abendschlummer
 Umarmt die Flur,
 In Liebeskummer
 Wacht Röslein nur.

 Sie schaut hinein
 In die Mondesnacht
 Und hat voll Sehnen
 An ihn gedacht.

 Da klingt sein Lied
 Heraus vom Wald,
 dass Frühlingslust
 Ins Herz ihr schallt.

Tenor-solo:
 Ich weiss ein Röslein prangen
 Im holden Frühlingsschein,
 Das möchte so gern ich fragen:
 Willst du mein Röslein sein?

Rose:
 Schlaf wohl, du lieber Sängersmann!

Tenor-solo:
 Und wenn ich komm'zu fragen,
 Da schaut mich's freundlich an,
 Da ist's mit einem Male
 Um meinen Mut getan.

Rose:
 Schlaf wohl, du lieber Sängersmann!
 Dein Röslein blüht für dich.

Tenor-solo:
 Sagt dir nicht das Herz im Busen
 Du Rose voll Frühlingsschein:

Rose:
 Komm' nur recht bald, Herzliebster fein
 Komm' bald zu ihm und sprich:

Tenor-solo:
 "Ich will nie eines And'ren
 Denn nur sein Röslein sein."

Rose:
 Ich will dein Röslein werden,
 Mein Frühling werde du,
 Komm', weck' mit deinen Küssen
 Mich aus der Winterruh!

Tenor-solo:
 Sagt dir nicht das Herz im Busen
 Du Rose voll Frühlingsschein:
 "Ich will nie eines And'ren
 Denn nur sein Röslein sein."

C. Schaefer sets stanza 4

Un serale sopore
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Coro di fanciulle:
 Un serale sopore
 si abbandona sui campi,
 presa dalle pene d'amore
 soltanto la rosa sta sveglia.

 Intenta contempla
 la notte di luna
 e ogni suo desiderio
 vola verso di lui.

 Ed ecco che sente risuonare
 il canto di lui nel bosco
 e una gioia di primavera
 gli fa eco nel cuore di lei
 
Tenore:
 Conosco una piccola rosa che a primavera
 risplende di luce incantevole,
 Vorrei tanto chiederle:
 vuoi essere la mia piccola rosa?
 
Rosa:
 Riposa sereno, mio amato che canti!
 
Tenore:
 E quando farò la domanda
 lei mi guarderà così affettuosa,
 che tutto a un tratto
 dovrò farmi coraggio.

Rosa:
 Riposa sereno, mio amato che canti!
 Tua è la rosa e per te solo fiorisce.

Tenore:
 Non ti ripete forse il cuore nel petto
 rosa che splendi nella luce di primavera:

Rosa:
 Vieni presto, dolcissimo amore,
 vieni presto e parla infine:

Tenore:
 "Io non apparterrò a nessun altro
 sarò soltanto la sua piccola rosa"

Rosa:
 Voglio diventare la tua rosa,
 tu sarai la mia primavera.
 Vieni, i tuoi baci
 mi desteranno dal sonno invernale!

Tenore:
 Non ti ripete forse il cuore nel petto
 rosa che splendi nella luce di primavera:
 "Io non apparterrò a nessun altro
 sarò soltanto la sua piccola rosa"
