Wenn du zu den Blumen gehst, pflücke die schönsten, dich zu schmücken. Ach, wenn du in dem Gärtlein stehst, müßtest du dich selber pflücken. Alle Blumen wissen ja, daß du hold bist ohne gleichen. Und die Blume, die dich sah -- Farb' und Schmuck muß ihr erbleichen. Wenn du zu den Blumen gehst, pflücke die schönsten, dich zu schmücken. Ach, wenn du in dem Gärtlein stehst, müßtest du dich selber pflücken. Lieblicher als Rosen sind die Küße, die dein Mund verschwendet, weil der Reiz der Blumen endet, wo dein Liebreiz erst beginnt. Wenn du zu den Blumen gehst, pflücke die schönsten, dich zu schmücken. Ach, wenn du in dem Gärtlein stehst, müßtest du dich selber pflücken.

Quan vagis entre les flors cull la més bonica per adornar-te. Ai, quan estàs al petit jardí t’hauries de collir tu mateixa. Totes les flors saben que tu ets encisadora sense igual. I les flors que t’han vist han de perdre llur color i flaire. Quan vagis entre les flors cull la més bonica per adornar-te. Ai, quan estàs al petit jardí t’hauries de collir tu mateixa. Més boniques que les roses són les besades que la teva boca prodiga, car l’encís de les flors cessa quan l’encís del teu amor comença. Quan vagis entre les flors cull la més bonica per adornar-te. Ai, quan estàs al petit jardí t’hauries de collir tu mateixa.
