Frauenchor: Der Abendschlummer Umarmt die Flur, In Liebeskummer Wacht Röslein nur. Sie schaut hinein In die Mondesnacht Und hat voll Sehnen An ihn gedacht. Da klingt sein Lied Heraus vom Wald, dass Frühlingslust Ins Herz ihr schallt. Tenor-solo: Ich weiss ein Röslein prangen Im holden Frühlingsschein, Das möchte so gern ich fragen: Willst du mein Röslein sein? Rose: Schlaf wohl, du lieber Sängersmann! Tenor-solo: Und wenn ich komm'zu fragen, Da schaut mich's freundlich an, Da ist's mit einem Male Um meinen Mut getan. Rose: Schlaf wohl, du lieber Sängersmann! Dein Röslein blüht für dich. Tenor-solo: Sagt dir nicht das Herz im Busen Du Rose voll Frühlingsschein: Rose: Komm' nur recht bald, Herzliebster fein Komm' bald zu ihm und sprich: Tenor-solo: "Ich will nie eines And'ren Denn nur sein Röslein sein." Rose: Ich will dein Röslein werden, Mein Frühling werde du, Komm', weck' mit deinen Küssen Mich aus der Winterruh! Tenor-solo: Sagt dir nicht das Herz im Busen Du Rose voll Frühlingsschein: "Ich will nie eines And'ren Denn nur sein Röslein sein."

Women's chorus: Evening slumber Embraces the meadow. Only the little Rose is awake In love's sorrow. She gazes into The moonlit night, And full of longing She thinks of him. His song sounds From the forest, Such that the joy of springtime Echoes into her heart. Tenor solo: I know a little Rose, Resplendent in the glow of spring, I would dearly love to ask her: "Would you be my little Rose?" Rose: Sleep well, you dear singer! Tenor solo: And whenever I come to ask, She looks at me so graciously, That suddenly All my courage deserts me. Rose: Sleep well, you dear singer! Your little Rose blooms for you. Tenor solo: Does not the heart within your bosom Tell you, Rose full of the glow of springtime: Rose: Only come soon, beloved of my heart, Come soon to her and say: Tenor solo: "I will never belong to anyone else But will only be his Rose." Rose: I wish to become your Rose, You shall become my springtime. Come, with your kisses awaken me From my winter's sleep! Tenor solo: Does not the heart within your bosom Tell you, Rose full of the glow of springtime: "I will never belong to anyone else But will only be his Rose."
