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 uns das so sehr betrübt! Als du noch sangest, hatte Rosen Blühender Mai geweckt. Aber heute mit Zeitlosen Haben wir 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 very sad that makes us. When you were still singing, Blossoming May had woken the roses. But today it is with meadow saffron That we have covered you!
