Buntblümlein hat die Haide

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

  Buntblümlein hat die Haide,
Und Minne hat mein Herz,
So weiß ich nichts vom Leide,
Zur Rose wird der Schmerz.
Nur in die Augen schaue,
Da schaust du ja genung:
Viel Blumen stehn'n im Thaue,
Der Blumen ewigjung.

The heath has colourful flowers

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

  The heath has colourful flowers
And my heart has love;
Thus I know nothing of sorrow,
My pain becomes a rose.
Only gaze into my eyes,
There you shall see enough:
Many flowers stand bedewed,
Many eternally young flowers.
