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.

Til Leukon

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Nägeli)

See original

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) after the German (Deutsch)

Roser plukkes, roser blomstrer,
I morgen er ikke i dag!
La ingen time få fly fra deg,
tiden er flyktig.

Drikk og kyss: Se i dag
er det muligheter!
Vet du hvor du er i morgen?
Tiden er flyktig.

Utsettelse av en god gjerning
har mange ganger vært angret!
Lev hurtig! - det er mitt råd,
Tiden er flyktig.
