Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Ein Röslein zog ich mir im Garten,
Ich hatte [meine Freude dran]1.
Ja, sprach es immer, ich bin dein,
Ich blühe nur für dich allein.
Ein Röslein zog ich mir im Garten,
[Ihm gab ich hin]2 mein ganzes Herz.
Wie konnt' ich doch so glücklich sein!
Es blühte nur für mich allein.
Ein Röslein zog ich mir im Garten,
Ein Andrer hat es abgepflückt.
Was mich erfreuet hat so sehr,
Ich find' es nun und nimmermehr.

I was drawn toward a rose in the garden
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
I was drawn toward a rose in the garden;
It gave me great joy.
Yes, it kept saying: I am yours,
I bloom only for you alone.
I was drawn toward a rose in the garden;
I gave it my entire heart.
How could I have been so lucky?
It bloomed only for me alone.
I was drawn toward a rose in the garden;
Another has picked it.
What brought to me such joy
I will now find never again.
