Our translations: CAT DUT FRE

Veilchen, Rosmarin, Mimosen,
Engelsüß und Immergrün,
Lilien, [Tausendschön und Rosen]¹
Hier in meinem Garten blüh'n.

Alles hast du, was zum Kranze
Sich die Lieb' auf Erden flicht,
Nur das Glück, die Eine Pflanze, 
Findest du im Garten nicht.

Ob sie heimisch ist hienieden,
Wo sie wächset, wo sie blüht --
Liebes Herz, gieb dich zufrieden!
Hast du dich doch heiß bemüht.

Mijn tuin

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Muurbloem, roosmarijn, mimosa,
Maagdenpalm en varenpluim,
Lelies, duizendschoon en rozen
Bloeien welig in mijn tuin.
 
Alles heb je, wat op aarde
Zich voor 'n liefdeskrans aanbiedt,
Maar 't geluk, die ene waarde,
In je tuin staat die plant niet.
 
Of zij thuishoort hier beneden,
Waar zij opgroeit, waar zij wacht --,
Lieve hart, wees toch tevreden!
Hard genoeg heb je getracht.
