Die Blumen sind alle verblüht

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Die Blumen sind alle verblüht
Auf ihrem grünenden Grab.
Das macht, weil ich sie täglich
Mit Tränen benetzet hab!
Drum will ich auch nicht mehr weinen,
Will tief begraben den Schmerz!
Dann fliessen all die Tränen
Zurück wohl auf mein Herz!

The flowers have all withered

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

The flowers have all withered
Upon her verdant grave.
That is because I daily
Bedewed them with tears!
Therefore I shall no longer weep;
I shall bury my pain deeply!
Then all the tears shall flow back
Onto my heart!
