Deine Rosen an der Brust

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Deine Rosen an der Brust,
sitz' ich unter fremden Menschen,
laß sie reden, laß sie lärmen,
jung Geheimnis tief im Herzen.

Wenn ich einstimm' in ihr Lachen,
ist's das Lachen meiner Liebe;
wenn ich ernst dem Nachbar lausche,
lausch' ich selig still nach innen.

Einen ganzen langen Abend
muß ich fern dir, Liebster, weilen,
küssend heimlich, ohne Ende,
deine Rosen an der Brust.

Ta rose à la poitrine

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Ta rose à la poitrine
Je suis assise parmi des étrangers,
Qu'ils parlent, qu'ils fassent du bruit,
J'ai un nouveau secret au fond du cœur.

Si je me joins à leurs rires,
C'est le rire de mon amour ;
Si avec sérieux j'écoute mon voisin,
J'écoute sereinement ma voix intérieure.

Toute une longue soirée
je dois rester loin de toi, mon chéri, attendre,
embrassant secrètement, sans fin,
ta rose sur ma poitrine.
