Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Unter den rothen Blumen,
Schlummere, lieb Vögelein!
Unter den rothen Blumen,
Graben wir traurig dich ein.

Hast uns so schön gesungen,
haben dich so sehr geliebt!
Kehlchen hat ausgeklungen,
Ach, wie mir sic das betrübt!

Hattest noch uns're Rosen
Mit deinem Lied geweckt.
Haben nun mit Zeitlosen
Vögelein dich zugedeckt!
