Veilchen, Rosmarin, Mimosen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT FRE

Veilchen, Rosmarin, Mimosen,
Engelsüß und Immergrün,
Lilien, [Tausendschön und Rosen]¹
Hier in meinem Garten blüh'n.

Alles hast du, was zum Kranze
Sich die Lieb' auf Erden flicht,
Nur das Glück, die Eine Pflanze, 
Findest du im Garten nicht.

Ob sie heimisch ist hienieden,
Wo sie wächset, wo sie blüht --
Liebes Herz, gieb dich zufrieden!
Hast du dich doch heiß bemüht.

Violettes, romarin et mimosa

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Violettes, romarin et mimosa,
Fougères et pervenches,
Lis, pâquerettes et roses
Poussent ici dans mon jardin.

Tout est là pour que l'amour
Se tresse sur terre une couronne,
Seul le bonheur, la plante Unique,
Ne se trouve pas dans le jardin.

Tu demandes si elle est commune ici-bas,
Où elle pousse, où elle fleurit,
Cher cœur, apaise-toi !
Tu t'es donné bien du mal.
