Rosen, ja, rosen likväl är skönast i...

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: FIN GER

Rosen, ja, rosen likväl är skönast i kransen af blommor;
Derför ock himlen sjelf lånar till prydnad dess färg.
Äfven den hvita är täck: men hvad skönhet, när begge tillsammans,
Spruckna på oskuldens kind, höja hvarandras behag!

Modernized form used by Sibelius:

Rosen, ja, rosen, likaväl är skönast i kransen av blommor;
Därför ock himlen själv lånar till prydnad dess färg.
Även den vita är täck: men vad skönhet, när bägge tillsammans,
Spruckna på oskuldens kind, höja varandras behag!

Ruusu, niin, ja se toinenkin on kaunein...

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Swedish (Svenska)

Ruusu, niin, ja se toinenkin on kaunein seppeleen kukista;
siksi iltataivaskin lainaa värinsä sen kaunistukseksi.
Onhan se valkoinenkin hieno, mutta kun molemmat yhdessä
puhkeavat viattomuuden poskille, ne korostavat toistensa suloutta!
