Nun steh'n die Rosen in Blüthe

(Sung text for setting by J. Grimm)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Nun stehen die Rosen in Blüte, 
Da wirft die Lieb' ein Netzlein aus. 
Du schwanker, loser Falter, 
Du hilfst dir nimmer heraus!

Und wenn ich wäre gefangen 
In dieser schönen Rosenzeit, 
Und wär's die Haft der Liebe, 
Ich müßte vergehen vor Leid.

Ich mag nicht sehnen und sorgen; 
Durch blühende Wälder schweift mein Lauf. 
Die luft'gen Lieder fliegen 
Bis in die Wipfel hinauf.

Nu staan de rozen te bloeien

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Grimm)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Nu staan de rozen te bloeien,
Dan werpt de liefd' een netje uit,
Jij, lichte fladdervlinder,
Jij redt je nooit meer daaruit.
 
En als ik zelf was gevangen,
Geboeid door rozenbloei alom,
En was 'k de slaaf der liefde,
Ik kwam van ellende wel om.
 
Ik wil niet hunk'ren en somb'ren;
Door bloeiende bossen zwerf ik volop.
Mijn lucht'ge lied'ren vliegen
Tot in de toppen hoog op.
