In den Garten wollen wir gehen,
Wo die schönen Rosen stehen,
Da stehn der Rosen gar zu viel,
Brech' ich mir eine, wo ich will.

Wir haben gar öfters beisammen gesessen,
Wie ist mir mein Schatz so treu gewesen?
Das hätt' ich mir nicht gebildet ein,
Daß mein Schatz so falsch könnt' sein.

Hört ihr nicht den Jäger blasen
In dem Wald auf grünem Rasen,
Den Jäger mit dem grünen Hut,
Der meinen Schatz verführen tut.

De verrader

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

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

In de bloemhof willen wij lopen,
Daar zijn mooie rozen open,
Daar staan haast rozen al te veel,
‘k Breek mij er eentje waar ik wil.

Wij hebben heel dikwijls daar samen gezeten,
Hoe heb ik mijn schat zo trouw geweten?
Het kwam niet op toen in mijn brein,
Dat mijn schat zo vals kon zijn.

Hoor je niet de jager blazen
In het woud, in ‘t groen bosschage?
De jager in zijn groene dracht,
Die mijn schat tot ontrouw bracht.
