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.

Mon âme / était en fleurs

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Loewe)

See original

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

Mon âme 
était en fleurs
Pareille aux nouvelles roses de mai.
Avec ses joues 
resplendissantes
L'amour vint doucement et léger,
Avec un regard badin, prit possession
De la rose de mon cœur.

Des tréfonds 
criaient
Toutes les pulsions doucement éveillées:
Viens et cueilles, 
apprête-toi
Seul avec nous, ô amour,
Tandis que tu cueilles à ta guise
Les feuilles passant autour de toi.
