1. Warum sind denn die Rosen so blaß  [sung text not yet checked]
by Friedrich Gustav Jansen (1831 - 1910), "Warum sind denn die Rosen so blaß", op. 29 (Lieder) no. 2
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Warum sind [denn]1 die Rosen so blaß?
O sprich mein Lieb warum?
Warum sind denn im grünen Gras
Die blauen Veilchen so stumm?

Warum singt denn mit so kläglichem Laut,
Die Lerche in der Luft?
Warum steigt denn aus dem Balsamkraut
Verwelkter Blütenduft?

Warum scheint denn die Sonn' auf die Au,
So kalt und verdrießlich herab?
Warum ist denn die Erde so grau,
Und öde wie ein Grab?

Warum bin ich selbst so krank und so trüb?
Mein liebes Liebchen sprich
O sprich mein herzallerliebstes Lieb,
Warum verließest du mich?

1 Zenger: "doch"

by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
1.
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Por que as rosas são tão pálidos,
Ó, meu amorzinho, fala, por que?
Por que as violetas no gramado verde
Estão tão mudas?
 
Por que a cotovia no ar
Canta com voz tão triste?
Por que a erva-cidreira
Emana um perfume de cadáver?
 
Por que o sol brilha por cima das matas
Tão frio e aborrecido?
Por que a terra é tão cinza
E solitário como um túmulo?
 
Por que eu mesmo estou tão doente e sorumbático?
Meu amor querido, fala.
Ó fala, meu amor de coração,
Por que você me deixou?
