by Emil Rudolf Osman, Prinz von Schönaich-Carolath (1852 - 1908)

Spielmannslied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Drei Rosen gab sie mir, drei Küsse --
Sie sprach von Lieb' und [ew'ger]1 Treu,
Es blühten Flieder und [Narcisse]2,
Die Grillen sangen fern im Heu.

  Und eh' die Rosen [welk im Grase]3,
Und eh' [verrauscht]4 die Junizeit,
Da hatten Eltern und [Fraubase]5
[Dem reichen Manne sie]6 gefreit.

  Und Tags darauf lag mir zu Füßen
Die [Heimatstadt]7 im Abendstrahl,
Die Rosen [warf als]8 letztes Grüßen
Hinunter [ich ins]9 tiefe Thal,

  Doch die drei Küsse gab ich weiter,
Und ward ein Spielmann wohlbekannt,
Der fideln geht, bald ernst, bald heiter,
Von Thür zu Thür, von Land zu Land.
