Die Rose von Nowgorod [English translation]

One there lived in Nowgrod

the most beautiful child in the world

then war came to Nowgrod

her beloved went off to the fields (of war)

She gave him a rose

A rose as red as blood

come back soon to Nowgrod

and stay forever good for me

Spring came to Nowgrod

The roses bloomed red

But aut there, far from Nowgrod

There was still war and death

Years passed over the land

and her heart was so heavy

She waited in Nowgrod

But he never returned.
