Heimweh

(Sung text for setting by L. Reichardt)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Wenn die Rosen blühen,
  Hoffe, liebes Herz,
Still und kühl verglühen
  Wird der heiße Schmerz,
Was den Winter über 
  Oft unheilbar schien,
Es entweicht das Fieber,
  Wenn die Rosen blühn.

 ... 

Wenn die Rosen blühen,
  Mattgequältes Herz,
Freue dich, wir ziehen
  Dann wohl himmelwärts.
Ewig dann geneesen, 
  Wirst du neu erglüh'n;
Wirst ein Himmlisch Wesen,
  Wenn die Rosen blüh'n.

Homesickness

(Sung text translation for setting by L. Reichardt)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

When the roses bloom, 
dear hoping heart, 
Still and cool, 
the searing pain will burn away.
Whatever seemed incurable 
all winter, 
The fever subsides 
when the roses bloom.

 ... 

When the roses bloom, 
crushed heart, 
Rejoice, then we will 
draw heavenward.
Then eternally healed, 
you will glow anew, 
Becoming a heavenly being 
when the roses bloom.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,3 of the original text.
