Es wuchs an einem Rosenbaum
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es wuchs an einem Rosenbaum Ein Knösplein auf im Garten, Und wer es sah, der konnte kaum Der Rose Blühn erwarten. Goldkäfer kam geflogen, Schwirrt rund herum im Bogen: Röslein, wann blühst du auf? Früh Morgens blinkte heller Thau Am Knöspelein, dem jungen, Frau Nachtigall hielt Rosenschau, Was nächtens aufgesprungen. Sie saß in grünen Zweigen, Sang zaubersüße Reigen: Röslein, wann blühst du auf? Kam auch ein blondes Mägdelein, Sah nach dem Rosenkinde, Ob sie's im warmen Sonnenschein Noch nicht erschlossen finde. Mit ihren rothen Lippen Thät sie daran auch nippen: Röslein, wann blühst du auf? Den nächsten Tag mit treuem Sinn Brach's ab ein Edelknabe Und trug's dem lieben Mädchen hin Als frische Morgengabe. Röslein und der's genommen, War'n beide da willkommen, Röslein, wie blühst du auf!

Little rose, when will you bloom?
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Upon a rose-tree there burgeoned A little bud in the garden, And whoever saw it could hardly wait To see the blooming of the rose. The rose chafer came flying, Buzzed round about in an arc: Little rose, when will you bloom? In the early morning, bright dew sparkled Upon the little bud, the young [little bud], Madame Nightingale was looking over the roses, Checking what had come up overnight. She sat in the green branches, Singing a magically sweet lay: Little rose, when will you bloom? Along, too, came a blonde maiden To look at the rose-child, To see if in the warm sunshine It had opened up yet. With her red lips She kissed it as well: Little rose, when will you bloom? The next day with a loyal spirit A noble lad broke it from its stem And carried it to the dear maiden As a fresh morning-gift. The little rose and he who took it Were both welcomed there, Little rose, when will you bloom?
English song title (Banck): The little rose
