Wie die Ros' in deinem Haare
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Wie die Ros' in deinem Haare,
Mädchen, bist du bald verblüht;
Schönes Mädchen, o bewahre
Vor dem Welken dein Gemüth!

Mädchen, wenn dein Herbst gekommen
Und das ganze Paradies
Deiner Blüte dir genommen,
Und dich aus dir selbst verwies;

Wenn du in des Welkens Tagen
Nicht den frohen Muth mehr hast,
Rosen in dem Haar zu tragen,
Weil den Wangen sie verblaßt;

O dann zaubert dein Gemüthe,
Wenn du's vor dem Frost bewacht,
Auf dein Antlitz eine Blüthe,
Leuchtend durch die Todesnacht.

Comme la rose dans tes cheveux
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Comme la rose dans tes cheveux,
Tu seras bientôt fanée, demoiselle ;
Belle demoiselle, ô méfie-toi
De la flétrissure de ton âme !

Demoiselle, si ton automne est là
Et que tout entier le paradis
De ta floraison t'est retiré
Et que de toi-même tu t'es bannie ;

Si dans les jours de flétrissure
Tu n'as plus l'heureuse humeur
De porter une rose dans tes cheveux,
Parce qu'elle fait pâlir  ta joue ;

Alors si tu l'as préservée du froid,
Ô que ton âme fasse apparaître
Une fleur sur ton visage
Éclairant la nuit de la mort.
