Lieder mit Klavier = Songs with piano , opus 32

by Erkki Gustaf Melartin (1875 - 1937)

1. Rosa rorans bonitatem
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Rosa rorans bonitatem,
stella stillans claritatem.
O, Madonna, sänk dig neder
till en syndare som beder
Ave Maria.

Rosa rorans bonitatem,
stella stillans claritatem.
Moder, moder jag har felat,
brott jag gjort, och skuld jag verlat,
Ave Maria.

Rosa rorans bonitatem,
stella stillans claritatem.
Låt mig i din mantel gråta,
säg, o säg du vill förlåta!
Ave Maria.

2. Die heilgen drei Könige  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die heil'gen drei Kön'ge aus Morgenland,
Sie frugen in jedem Städtchen:
Wo geht der Weg nach Bethlehem,
Ihr lieben Buben und Mädchen?

Die Jungen und Alten, sie [wußten es]1 nicht,
Die Könige zogen weiter;
Sie folgten einem goldenen Stern,
Der leuchtete lieblich und heiter.

Der Stern blieb stehn über Joseph's Haus,
Da sind sie [hineingegangen]2;
Das Öchslein brüllte, das Kindlein schrie,
Die heil'gen drei Könige sangen.
