Wenn es rothe Rosen schneit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Wenn es rothe Rosen schneit,
Wenn es Liebe regnet,
Oeffne, Herz, dem Glück dich weit,
Das so hold dich segnet.

Halt' im Liede fest den Glanz
Solcher Freudentage,
Doch ins Heut versunken ganz
Nicht nach Morgen frage.

Weißt du doch, der Rosenzeit
Folgt die Sonnenwende,
Und die Liebe lohnt mit Leid
Immerdar am Ende.

Quand il neige des roses rouges
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Quand il neige des roses rouges,
Quand l'amour pleut,
Ouvre-toi, cœur, tout entier au bonheur
Qui te comble si tendrement.

Conserve fermement dans le chant
De tels jours de joie
Et  tout entier plongé dans le présent,
Ne te soucie pas du lendemain.

Tu sais bien que la saison des roses
Est suivie du solstice,
Et que à la fin, l’amour
Se paie toujours par la souffrance.
