Liebe Rose, Blume der Rosen, 
Willst du mich meiden, so sag' es mir klar; 
Dich liebt' ich seit frühesten Tagen, 
Ich liebt' dich durch Monden und Jahr.

Ich liebt' dich durch Stunden und Monde, 
War es in Trauer, war es in Scherz; 
Liebe Rose, Blume der Rosen, 
Nun gib mir zurück mein Herz.

Dich liebt' ich durch Monden und Jahre, 
Mit Herz, mit Mund und mit Blick; 
Liebe Rose, Blume der Rosen, 
Nun gib mir die Jahre zurück.

Dear rose, flower of the roses
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Dear rose, flower of the roses,
If you wish to avoid me, then tell me so clearly;
I have loved you since the earliest days,
I loved you through months and years.

I loved you through hours and months,
Were it in mourning, were it in jest;
Dear rose, flower of the roses,
Now give me back my heart.

I loved you through months and years,
With my heart, my mouth and my glances;
Dear rose, flower of the roses,
Now give me back those years.
