Der Blumenbrief

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT CHI DUT ENG ENG FRE

Euch Blümlein will ich senden
Zur schönen Jungfrau dort,
Fleht sie, mein Leid zu enden
Mit einem guten Wort.

Du, Rose, kannst ihr sagen,
Wie ich in Lieb' erglüh',
Wie ich um sie muß klagen
Und weinen spät und früh.

 ... 

Du, Myrte, flüstre leise
Ihr meine Hoffnung zu,
Sag': auf des Lebens Reise
Glänzt ihm kein Stern als du.

Du, Ringelblume, deute
Ihr der Verzweiflung Schmerz,
Sag' ihr: des Grabes Beute
Wird ohne dich sein Herz.

Le message des fleurs

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

Petites fleurs, je vous enverrai
À cette jolie jeune fille là,
Pour la supplier de mettre fin à mon chagrin
Avec un seul mot gentil.

Rose, tu peux lui dire
Combien je brûle d'amour,
Combien je soupire après elle
Et je pleure nuit et jour.

 ... 

Myrte, chuchote doucement
À son oreille mon espoir,
Dis-lui : au cours du voyage de la vie,
Aucune étoile ne brille pour lui comme à part toi.

Souci, décris-lui
La souffrance de mon désespoir ;
Dis-lui : le butin de la tombe
Sera sans toi son cœur.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,2,4,5 of the original text.
