Nun [stehn]1 die Rosen in Blüte, Da wirft die [Lieb']2 ein Netzlein aus. Du schwanker, loser Falter, Du hilfst dir nimmer heraus! Und wenn ich wäre gefangen In dieser [jungen]3 Rosenzeit, Und wär's die Haft der Liebe, Ich müßte vergehen vor Leid. Ich mag nicht [sehnen und]4 sorgen; Durch blühende Wälder schweift mein Lauf. Die [luft'gen]5 Lieder fliegen Bis in die Wipfel hinauf.

Maintenant les roses sont en fleurs, L'amour lance ses filets, Papillon indécis et frivole, Tu ne pourras jamais t'en tirer. Et si j'étais attrapé En ce temps de jeunes roses, Et si c'était la captivité de l'amour, Je disparaîtrais de chagrin. Je ne veux pas [être nostalgique]1 ni me soucier : À travers la forêt en fleurs ma course erre. Les chants [légers]2 volent Jusqu'au sommet des arbres.
