Our translations: CAT CHI DUT ENG ENG FRE HUN HUN ITA

Sah ein Knab' ein Röslein stehn,
Röslein auf der Heiden,
War so jung und morgenschön,
Lief er schnell es nah zu sehn,
Sah's mit vielen Freuden.
Röslein, Röslein, Röslein roth,
Röslein auf der Heiden.
 
Knabe sprach: ich breche dich,
Röslein auf der Heiden!
Röslein sprach: ich steche dich,
Daß du ewig denkst an mich,
Und ich will's nicht leiden.
Röslein, Röslein, Röslein roth,
Röslein auf der Heiden.
 
Und der wilde Knabe brach
's Röslein auf der Heiden;
Röslein wehrte sich und stach,
Half ihm doch kein Weh und Ach,
Mußt' es eben leiden.
Röslein, Röslein, Röslein roth,
Röslein auf der Heiden.

Petite rose de la lande

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Reichardt)

See original

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

Un enfant vit une petite rose,
Petite rose sur la lande,
Elle était jeune et belle comme le matin,
Courant vite, il s'approcha pour la voir,
Il la vit avec grande joie.
Petite rose, petite rose, petite rose rouge,
Petite rose sur la lande.

L'enfant dit : je te cueille,
Petite rose de la lande !
La petite rose dit : je te pique,
Pour que tu penses éternellement à moi,
Et je ne le souffrirai point.
Petite rose, petite rose, petite rose rouge,
Petite rose sur la lande.

Et le mauvais garçon cueillit
La petite rose de la lande ;
La petite rose se défendit et piqua,
Il ne lui servit à rien de crier,
Et dut bien le souffrir
Petite rose, petite rose, petite rose rouge,
Petite rose sur la lande.
