Die Nonne

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FIN

Viel hundert weiße Liljen
Im Klostergarten stehn;
Die roten, roten Rosen
Sind noch einmal so schön.
 
Die roten, roten Rosen,
Die darf ich gar nicht ziehn;
Im Klostergarten dürfen
Bloß weiße Liljen blühn.
 
Drei rote Rosen fallen
Vor meine Füße hin;
Es fließen meine Tränen,
Daß ich eine Nonne bin.
 
Ach Reiter, junger Reiter,
Behalt die Rosen dein;
Mir blühen bloß die Liljen,
Doch nicht die Röselein.

Nunna

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the German (Deutsch)

Monta sataa valkoista liljaa
kasvaa luostarin puutarhassa;
punaiset, punaiset ruusut
ovat vielä paljon kauniimpia.
 
Niitä punaisia, punaisia ruusua
minä en saa ollenkaan kasvattaa;
Luostarin puutarhassa saavat
kukkia vain valkoiset liljat.
 
Kolme punaista ruusua putoaa
jalkojeni juureen;
kyyneleeni vuotavat virtanaan,
siksi, että olen nunna.
 
Voi ritari, nuori ritari,
pidä sinä vain ruususi;
minulle kukkivat vain liljat
mutta eivät ruusut.
