Es blühen an den Wegen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Es blühen an den Wegen Viel bunte Blümelein, Es fließen unter Stegen Viel klare Wässerlein. Die Blumen müssen bleiben Allstets an ihrem Ort, Die Wellen aber treiben Nur immer fort und fort. Das Mägdlein aus der Mühle Steht an des Ufers Rand Und wirft hinab ins Kühle Die Rose aus der Hand. Zieh nach dem Einen, Lieben, Der's Sehnen mich gelehrt, Sieh zu, wo er geblieben Und wann er wiederkehrt. Sag' ihm, es stünd' im Garten Voll Rosen unser Strauch, Die duftend seiner harrten, Und harrend stünd' ich auch.

Along the paths there bloom
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Along the paths there bloom Many colourful little flowers, Underneath the bridges there flow Many clear little waters. The flowers must stay Always in their place, But the waves flow Only onward, ever on and on. The maiden from the mill Stands on the bank And down into the coolness She tosses the rose from her hand. Flow to the One, the beloved, He who taught me yearning, Go see where he has gotten to And when he shall return. Tell him, in the garden Our bush stands full of roses, Which await him with their scents, And awaiting him, I stand as well.
