Rosen fliehen nicht allein
Und die Lenzgesänge,
Auch dein Wangenrosenschein,
Deine süßen Klänge.

Rosen wecken Sehnsucht hier,
Dort die Nachtigallen,
Mädchen, und ich möchte dir
In die Arme fallen!

Roses do not fade alone

(Sung text translation for setting by O. Schoeck)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Roses do not fade alone
And neither do the songs of spring,
Nor does the rosy glow of your cheeks
Nor the sweet sound of your voice.

 ... 

My longing is awakened, here by roses,
there by nightingales,
Maiden, and I wish
To fall into your arms.

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