Verstohlen geht der Mond auf, Blau, blau Blümelein! Durch Silberwölkchen führt sein Lauf; Rosen im Tal, Mädel im Saal, o schönste Rosa! Er steigt die blaue Luft hindurch, Blau, blau Blümelein! Bis daß er scheint auf Löwenburg; Rosen im Tal, Mädel im Saal, o schönste Rosa! O schaue Mond durchs Fensterlein, Blau, blau Blümelein! Schön Trude lock' mit deinem Schein; Rosen im Tal, Mädel im Saal, o schönste Rosa! Und siehst du mich und siehst du sie, Blau, blau Blümelein! Zwei treu're Herzen sahst du nie; Rosen im Tal, Mädel im Saal, o schönste Rosa!

Furtiva, surt la lluna, blava, blava floreta! El seu decurs passa entre núvols argentats; roses a la vall, donzella al saló, oh bellíssima Rosa! Ella s’enlaira a través del cel blau, blava, blava floreta! fins a il·luminar el Löwenburg; roses a la vall, donzella al saló, oh bellíssima Rosa! Oh lluna, mira per la finestra, blava, blava floreta! La bella Trude sedueix amb la teva resplendor; roses a la vall, donzella al saló, oh bellíssima Rosa! I si tu em veus i si tu la veus, blava, blava floreta! No veuràs mai més dos cors més fidels; roses a la vall, donzella al saló, oh bellíssima Rosa!
