Auf die Rose
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Greek (Ελληνικά)
Laßt die Rose, Eros' Blume,
Zu Lyäen sich gesellen;
Mit der Rose Zier die Schläfe
Kränzend, lasset uns den Becher
Leeren unter milden Scherzen!
Rose heißt die schönste Blume,
Rose heißt des Lenzes Schoßkind,
Rosen flicht der Sohn Kytheres
Um die gelben Ringelhaare,
Mit den Chariten zu tanzen.
Kränze, Bakchos, mich mit Rosen,
Und ich will, die Laute rührend,
Mit dem zierlichsten der Mädchen,
Deinen Kranz auf meinem Haupte,
Froh bei deinem Tempel tanzen.

Sur la rose
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Laissez la rose, la fleur d'Eros
Se joindre à Lyäus ;
Avec la rose ornez ses tempes
Le couronnant, vidons la coupe
Avec de doux badinages !
La rose est la plus belle fleur,
La rose est l'enfant gâté du printemps,
Le fils de Cythère tresse des roses
Dans les cheveux blonds
Des Charites pour aller danser.
Bacchus, couronne-moi de roses,
Et je vais, effleurant le luth,
Avec la plus gracieuse des filles,
Ta couronne sur ma tête,
Danser joyeusement dans ton temple.
