Unter den rothen Blumen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Unter den rothen Blumen,
Schlummere, mein Vögelein!
Unter den rothen Blumen,
Grab' ich dich traurig ein.

Hast mir so schön gesungen,
Hab' dich so sehr geliebt!
Kehlchen hat ausgeklungen,
O wie mich das betrübt!

Als du noch sangst, hatte Rosen
Blühend der Mai geweckt.
Aber nun mit Zeitlosen
Hab' ich dich zugedeckt!

Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Onder de rode bloemen 
slaap nu maar, jij vogel klein!
Onder de rode bloemen graven 
wij treurend jouw schrijn.
Onder de rode bloemen 
slaap nu maar, jij vogel klein!

Mooi heb je ons gezongen, 
jij door ons zozeer bemind!
't Keeltje is nu bedwongen, 
ach, hoe  verdriet ons overwint!
Mooi heb je ons gezongen, 
jij door ons zozeer bemind!

Toen je nog wel zong, 
werden rozen door bloeiende mei gewekt,
Maar vandaag met herfsttijlozen 
hebben wij jou toegedekt.
Onder de rode bloemen 
slaap nu maar, jij vogel klein!
