Nel giardino di mio padre - fiorisci, cuore mio, fiorisci - nel giardino di mio padre c'era un melo che faceva ombra - dolce sogno - c'era un melo che faceva ombra. Tre bionde figlie di re - fiorisci, cuore mio, fiorisci - tre bellissime fanciulle dormivano sotto il melo - dolce sogno - dormivano sotto il melo. La più giovane delle belle - fiorisci, cuore mio, fiorisci - la più giovane delle belle cominciava ad aprire gli occhi e a svegliarsi - dolce sogno - cominciava ad aprire gli occhi e a svegliarsi. La seconda si scostò i capelli - fiorisci, cuore mio, fiorisci - la seconda si scostò i capelli, vide il rosso dell'aurora - dolce sogno - vide il rosso dell'aurora. Disse: Non sentite il tamburo - fiorisci, cuore mio, fiorisci - dolce sogno - chiaro nello spazio del crepuscolo? Il mio amato va in battaglia - fiorisci, cuore mio, fiorisci - il mio amato se ne va in battaglia, baciatemi come vincitore l'orlo della veste - dolce sogno - baciatemi come vincitore l'orlo della veste! La terza parlò e parlò così piano - fiorisci, cuore mio, fiorisci - la terza parlò e parlò così piano: io bacio all'amato l'orlo della veste - dolce sogno - io bacio all'amato l'orlo della veste. Nel giardino di mio padre - fiorisci, cuore mio, fiorisci - nel giardino di mio padre c'è un melo al sole - dolce sogno - c'è un melo al sole!
