Nun stehn die Rosen in Blüte
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Nun stehn die Rosen in Blüte,
[Ein Netz wird bald gewoben sein]1.
Mein flatterhaft Gemüthe,
Dich fangen sie nicht ein.
Und blieb' ich [Ärmster]2 hangen
In dieser jungen Rosenzeit
An schönsten Rosenwangen,
Meine Jugend thäte mir leid.
Ich mag nur lachen und singen,
Durch blühende Wälder schweift mein Lauf;
Mein Herz will sich erschwingen
Bis in die Wipfel hinauf!

Time of roses
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Now the roses are in bloom,
[A net shall soon be woven]1.
You, my flighty spirit,
They shall not ensnare!
[And if I, poor chap, were caught]2
By the most beautiful rosy cheeks
In this youthful time of roses,
I should regret my youth.
I only like to laugh and sing,
My way takes me through blossoming woodlands;
My heart wishes to swing itself
All the way up into the tree-tops!
