Rose von Bayerland
G'rad im Erblüh'n,
Sollst nun am Donaustrand
Duften und glüh'n.

Sollst in des Äthers Flut
Spiegeln Dein Bild,
Wangen voll heller Glut,
Äuglein so mild.

Rose von Bayerland
Trau' dem Bericht,
Bessere Gärtnerhand
Findest Du nicht.

Pflegen zu jeder Stund'
Wird sie Dich treu,
Nimmer so schönem Bund
Folget die Reu'.

Nun dich der Liebe Band
Dauernd umschließt,
Rose von Baierland
Sei uns gegrüßt.

Note to stanza 2, line 1: "Ister" was the Latin name of the Danube.

Rose from the land of Bavaria!

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Storch)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Rose from the land of Bavaria,
On the cusp of blooming,
You are now to glow and disperse your scent
Upon the banks of the Danube.

In the aether's waters you are
To see your image reflected,
Cheeks full of a bright glow,
Dear eyes so gentle.

Rose from the land of Bavaria,
Trust the tidings,
You cannot find
A better gardener's hand.

At all hours this hand
Shall cherish you faithfully,
Rue never follows the forging
Of such a beautiful bond.

Now that love's alliance
Constantly encircles you, 
Rose from the land of Bavaria,
We greet you.
