Die Rose [English translation]

Love is like wild water

That forces its way between cliffs

love is like a knife

which burns in your heart

it is sweet and bitter

A heavy gale and a breath

for me it is a rose

for you a thornbush

Who never cries and never mourns

doesnt know anything of happiness

who only seeks what lasts forever

misses the moment

Who never takes, isn't also able to give

Who is afraid of dying for a lifetime never starts to live

When you think you are abandoned

And there's no way out of the night

You start to hate the world

That only makes others happy

but don't forget, by this branch there

which nearly has frozen to death

blooms in spring a rose

beautiful as never before
