Es stand eine Rose im tief tiefen Grund
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT ENG FRE
Es stand eine Rose im tief tiefen Grund,
Von Liebe und Sehnsucht durchglühet,
Kam Keiner, der ihre Schönheit begehrt,
Ist einsam und traurig verblühet.
Ich weiß eine Seele, die glühte so heiß,
Die Liebe, das Glück zu umfangen;
Kam Keiner, der ihre Blüthe begehrt,
Ist einsam zu Grunde gegangen.

A rose stood in the deep, deep vale
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
A rose stood in the deep, deep vale,
Suffused with the glow of love and yearning,
No one came who desired her beauty,
Solitary and sad she faded away.
I know a soul that glowed so fervently
To embrace love, happiness;
No one came who desired its blooming,
It perished in solitude.
