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!

Under the red flowers, Slumber, dear little bird. Under the red flowers we sadly lay you to rest. You sang so beautifully for us, We loved you so much. Your little voice has fallen silent, Ah, how sad that makes me. You had still woken our roses With your song. Now it is with meadow saffron We have covered you, little bird!
