Von rothen, rothen [Röselein]1
Der Strauß [an]2 meinem Hut,
Von wem auch könnt' er anders sein,
Als von der Allerliebsten,
Die mein gedenken thut?
Und wenn ich auf dem Berge steh',
Schau ich mich um nach ihr,
Und werf mein Hütlein in die [Höh]3,
O du mein süß Herzliebchen,
Ich wollt' ich wär bei Dir!

Of little red, red roses
The posy upon my hat,
From whom else could it be
But from my most beloved,
Who is thinking of me?
And when I stand upon the mountain
I look around for her,
And toss my [hat]1 up into the air,
Oh you, my sweet heart's beloved,
I wish I were with you!
