Im blassgelben Kleidchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Im [blassgelben]1 Kleidchen,
Die Rose im Haar --
Sie sagten's mir Alle,
Wie lieblich ich war.
Und Einer von Allen,
Der sagte es nicht,
Er sah mir nur groß
Ins junge Gesicht.

In a pale yellow dress
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
In a [pale yellow]1 dress,
A rose in my hair –
Everyone said to me
How lovely I was.
And one among them all,
He did not say it,
He only gazed into my
Young face with wide-open eyes.
