Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

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.

Le déserteur

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

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

Allons dans le jardin
Où les belles roses poussent,
Là trop de roses poussent,
J'en cueille une où je veux.

Nous nous sommes assis très souvent côte à côte,
Comme ma bien-aimée m'a été fidèle !
Je n'aurais jamais imaginé
Que ma bien-aimée puisse être aussi fausse.

N'entendez-vous pas le cor du chasseur
Dans la forêt sur l'herbe verte ?
Le chasseur avec son chapeau vert,
Qui a séduit ma bien-aimée.
