Mit Gold und Steingeschmeide

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Mit Gold und Steingeschmeide
Ist manche angethan,
Mein Schatz schmückt sich mit Rosen,
Mit Rosen lobesan.

Ihr Goldschmuck in tiefer Truhe
Blitzt nicht im Sonnenschein,
Ich aber schau' ihn allstündlich
In ihrem Herzkämmerlein.

Some women are bejewelled

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Some women are bejewelled 
With gold and the splendour of stones,
My darling adorns herself with roses,
With praiseworthy roses.

Her golden jewellery, in a deep chest,
Does not sparkle in the sunshine,
But at all times I see it
In the chamber of her heart.
