Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Ein Vöglein singt im Walde,
Singt Lieb' und Leiden,
Ich weine für mich hin -
Du willst ja scheiden.

Viel Rosen blühen roth,
Ich pflücke keine -
Brauch weder Schmuck noch Zier,
So ganz alleine.

Un oiseau chante dans la forêt

(Sung text translation for setting by M. von Kehler)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Un oiseau chante dans la forêt,
Il chante l'amour et la peine,
Je pleure en secret --
Tu vas partir.

Bien des roses rouges fleurissent
Je n'en cueille aucune--
Je n'ai besoin ni d'atour ni de parure,
Je suis si seule.
