Rosen fliehen nicht allein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE
Rosen fliehen nicht allein
Und die Lenzgesänge,
Auch dein Wangenrosenschein,
Deine süßen Klänge.
O, daß ich, ein Thor, ein Thor,
Meinen Himmel räumte!
Daß ich einen Blick verlor,
Einen Hauch versäumte!
Rosen wecken Sehnsucht hier,
Dort die Nachtigallen,
Mädchen, und ich möchte dir
In die Arme fallen!

Les roses ne sont pas seules à s'enfuir
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Les roses ne sont pas seules à s'enfuir,
De même les chansons du printemps,
L'éclat rose de tes joues
Et le doux son de ta voix.
Ô fallait-il que je fus idiot, idiot,
Pour détruire mon ciel,
Que je perde un regard,
Que je néglige un soupir !
Ici les roses réveillent la nostalgie,
Là-bas ce sont les rossignols,
Mignonne, et je voudrais
Tomber dans tes bras !
