Röselein, Röselein, Müssen denn Dornen sein? Schlief am schatt'gen Bächelein Einst zu süssem Träumen ein, Sah in goldner Sonne-Schein Dornenlos ein Röselein, Pflückt' es auch und küsst' es fein, "Dornloses Röselein!" Ich erwacht' und schaute drein: "Hatt' ich's doch! wo mag es sein?" Rings im weiten Sonnenschein Standen nur Dornröselein! Und das Bächlein lachte mein: "Lass du nur dein Träumen sein! Merk' dir's fein, merk' dir's fein, Dornröslein müssen sein!"

Petita rosa, petita rosa, has de tenir espines? Un cop em vaig adormir prop del rierol ombriu i vaig tenir un dolç somni en el que, a l’auri esclat del sol, vaig veure una petita rosa sense espines, la vaig collir i la vaig besar delicadament. “Una rosa sense espines!” Em vaig despertar i vaig mirar a l’entorn: “Però si jo la tenia! On pot estar?” Tot al voltant, a la plena llum del sol només hi havia roses amb espines! I el rierol se’n rigué de mi: “Deixa estar el teu somni! Remarca-ho bé, assabenta-te’n, les roses han de tenir espines!”
