1. Es stunden drei Rosen auf einem Zweig,
Schön ist der Sommer;
Drauf sang eine Nachtigall anmutreich;
Schön ist der Sommer!

2. Und unter dem blühenden Rosenbaum,
Da lag eine Feine in tiefem Traum;

3. Der Ritter kam wohl durch den Wald,
Mein Rößlein, was machst du so plötzlich Halt?

4. Was schimmert Rotes durchs grüne Gras?
Als ob es Rosen in ihrer Pracht?

Il y avait trois roses sur une branche

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

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

Il y avait trois roses sur une branche,

Sur laquelle un rossignol chantait gracieusement ;
Dans le bel été !

Et sous le rosier fleuri,
Était une belle dans un rêve profond.

Un chevalier arriva par la forêt,
Petit cheval pourquoi t'arrêtes-tu soudain ?

Quel est ce rouge qui luit dans l'herbe verte ?
Qui a toute la splendeur d'une rose ?
