Verstohlen geht der Mond auf
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE IRI
Verstohlen geht der Mond auf,
Blau, blau Blümelein!
Durch Silberwölkchen führt sein Lauf;
Rosen im Tal, Mädel im Saal, o schönste Rosa!

Er steigt die blaue Luft hindurch,
Blau, blau Blümelein!
Bis daß er scheint auf Löwenburg;
Rosen im Tal, Mädel im Saal, o schönste Rosa!

O schaue Mond durchs Fensterlein,
Blau, blau Blümelein!
Schön Trude lock' mit deinem Schein;
Rosen im Tal, Mädel im Saal, o schönste Rosa!

Und siehst du mich und siehst du sie,
Blau, blau Blümelein!
Zwei treu're Herzen sahst du nie;
Rosen im Tal, Mädel im Saal, o schönste Rosa!
