Es blühen an den Wegen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT 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.
