Guter Rath

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT FRE NOR
Rosen pflücke, Rosen blühn,
Morgen ist nicht heut!
Keine Stunde laß entfliehn,
Flüchtig ist die Zeit.

Trink und küsse: sieh es ist 
Heut Gelegenheit!
Weißt du, wo du morgen bist?
Flüchtig ist die Zeit.

Aufschub einer guten Tat
Hat schon oft gereut!
Hurtig leben ist mein Rat,
Flüchtig ist die Zeit.
