Der tote Knabe

(Sung text for setting by A. Knab)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT DUT ENG FRE

Es wollt die Jungfrau früh aufstehn,
Wollt in des Vaters Garten gehn,
Rot Röslein wollt sie brechen ab,
Davon wollt sie sich machen,
Ein Kränzelein wohl schön.

Es sollt ihr Hochzeitskränzlein sein:
"Dem feinen Knab, dem Knaben mein,
Ihr Röslein rot, ich brech euch ab,
Davon will ich mir winden,
Ein Kränzelein so schön."

Sie gieng im Grünen her und hin,
Statt Röslein fand sie Rosmarien:
"So bist du, mein Getreuer hin!
Kein Röslein ist zu finden,
Kein Kränzelein so schön."

Sie gieng im Garten her und hin,
Statt Röslein brach sie Rosmarien:
"Das nimm du, mein Getreuer, hin!
Lieg bei dir unter Linden,
Mein Totenkränzlein schön."

Rozemarijn

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Knab)

See original

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

Een maagd wilde vroeg opstaan
om in haar vaders tuin te gaan,
Rode roosjes wilde ze afbreken,
daarvan wilde ze zich
een mooi kransje maken.
 
Het zou haar bruiloftskransje zijn:
"voor die fijne knaap, die knaap van mij,
rode roosjes, breek ik jullie af,
daarvan wil ik mij
een prachtig kransje vlechten."
 
Ze liep buiten heen en weer,
in plaats van roosjes vond ze rozemarijn:
"dus ben jij, mijn getrouwe, verloren!
Geen roosje is te vinden,
geen prachtig kransje."
 
Ze liep de tuin op en neer,
in plaats van roosjes brak ze rozemarijn:
"aanvaard het, mijn getrouwe!
Laat bij jou, onder de linden,
mijn mooie doodskransje liggen."
