Das Blümlein

(Sung text for setting by F. Kulling)

See base text

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Ich weiß ein Blümlein hold und licht, 
Ein Blümlein roth und weiß, 
Ein schöner Blümlein find ich nicht 
Im ganzen Erdenkreis. 
O Blümelein,  o Blümelein, 
Ich möcht' so gerne bei dir sein! 

Laßt mich zu meinem Blümlein hin, 
Ich hab' es gar so lieb, 
Es hanget wohl ein Thrän'lein drin, 
Weil ich so lange blieb. 
O Blümelein,  o Blümelein, 
O könnt' ich immer bei dir sein!

The Little Flower

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Kulling)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

I know a little flower, tender and bright,
A little flower – red and white,
A more beautiful flower I cannot find
In the entire earth.
O little flower, O little flower,
I would so like to be with you!

Allow me to go to my little flower,
I love it so very much, 
A tear probably hangs from it,
Because I have tarried so long.
O little flower, O little flower,
O if I could be with you always!
