Die Herzensrose

(Sung text for setting by C. Loewe)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Mein Gemüthe
   Blühte
   Gleich der frischen Maienrose;
   Mit der Wangen
   Prangen
   Kam die Liebe leise, lose,
   Nahm Besitz, mit einem Blick des Scherzens
   Von der Rose meines Herzens.

Aus den Tiefen
   Riefen
   Alle still erwachten Triebe:
   Komm und pflücke!
   Schmücke
   Dich nur auch mit uns, o Liebe,
   Wie du rings dir im Vorüberwallen
   Pflückest Blätter nach Gefallen.

The rose of the heart

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Loewe)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

My spirit
   Bloomed
   Like the fresh rose of May;
   With a resplendent glowing
   Of cheeks,
   Love came quietly, wantonly,
   With a single jesting glance took possession
   Of the rose of my heart.

From the depths of my heart
   There called
   All the quietly-awakened shoots:
   Come and pick!
   Only adorn
   Yourself with us as well, oh Love,
   As all around in passing
   You picked petals as you pleased.

 ...
