Wir sind zwei Rosen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Wir sind zwei Rosen,
darüber der Sturm fuhr
und sie abriß.
Gemeinsam
wirbeln sie nun
den Weg entlang,
und ihre Blätter wehn
durcheinander.
Heimatlose,
tanzen und fliehn sie,
nur für einander
duftend und leuchtend,
den Weg der Liebe -:
Bis sie am Abend
der große Feger
lächelnd
auf seine Schaufel nimmt.

We are two roses
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
We are two roses
Driven and torn apart
By the storm.
Together
They now whirl
Along their way,
And their petals wave
Agitatedly.
Homeless,
They dance and flee
For each other alone,
Scented and shining
Along the path of love -:
Until in the evening
The great Sweeper,
Smiling,
Takes them into his dustpan.
