Und wie ein Jahr verronnen ist
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA
Tenor:
 Und wie ein Jahr verronnen ist,
 Sein Knöspchen zart Schön-Röslein küßt,
 Es ruht, gewiegt von Mutterlust,
 Mit Augen blau, an ihrer Brust.
 Es lächelt und die Händchen langen,
 Als wollt's die Mutterlieb' umfangen;
 Sie aber schaut durch Tränenflor
 Mit heissem Dank zu Gott empor,
 Nimmt still die Ros', ihr Lebenspfand,
 Und giebt's dem Kindlein mit zitternder Hand.

Rose:
 Nimm hin mein Glück, du kleines Herz,
 Ich geh' beseligt heimatwärts;
 Mein ward der Erde Seligkeit,
 Nach dieser giebt es keine Freud';
 Leb' wohl, mein Kind; - du treuer Mann,
 Zu End' ist meine Pilgerbahn,
 Ich scheide ohne Schmerz und Weh',
 Weil ich im Glück von hinnen geh'.
 Das ist kein bleicher, schwarzer Tod,
 Das ist ein Tod voll Morgenrot!

Tenor:
 Und wie sie noch so leise spricht,
 Verlöscht der Augen Frühlingslicht.

Et comme une année a passé
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ténor :
 Et comme une année a passé,
 Son petit bouton de belle petite rose embrasse tendrement,
 Il repose, bercé par la joie de sa mère,
 Avec des yeux bleus sur sur son sein.
 Il sourit et ses petites mains se tendent
 Comme pour embrasser l'amour de sa mère ;
 Mais elle regarde à travers un voile de larmes
 En haut vers Dieu avec une reconnaissance ardente,
 Elle prend la rose, son gage de vie,
 Et la donne au petit enfant d'une main tremblante.

La rose :
 Prends mon porte-bonheur, petit cœur,
 Je rentre heureuse à la maison ;
 Ma joie suprême a été sur terre,
 Après cela il n'y a pas d'autre joie ;
 Adieu, mon enfant, mon mari fidèle,
 Mon pèlerinage arrive à sa fin,
 Je pars sans peine ni chagrin
 Parce que je pars d'ici dans le bonheur.
 Ce n'est pas une mort blême, noire,
 C'est une mort pleine d'aurore !

Ténor :
 Et tandis qu'elle parle encore si doucement,
 La lumière du printemps de ses yeux s'éteint.
