Rosenzeit

(Sung text for setting by G. Schumann)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Nun stehn die Rosen in Blüte,
die Liebe webt ihr Netz so fein.
Mein flatterhaft Gemüthe,
Dich fangen sie nicht ein.

Und blieb' ich träumend hangen
In dieser jungen Rosenzeit
An schönsten Rosenwangen,
Meine Jugend thäte mir leid.

Ich mag nur lachen und singen,
Durch blühende Wälder schweift mein Lauf;
Mein Herz will sich erschwingen
Bis in die Wipfel hinauf!

Georg Schumann

Time of roses

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Schumann)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Now the roses are in bloom,
Love weaves its net so delicately.
You, my flighty spirit,
They shall not ensnare!

And if I were dreamily caught
By the most beautiful rosy cheeks
In this youthful time of roses,
I should regret my youth.

I only like to laugh and sing,
My way takes me through blossoming woodlands;
My heart wishes to swing itself
All the way up into the tree-tops!
