Die Rosen [English translation]

I see her in my garden

Wonderful - so tender, so fine

I love her, I'm entranced

I love when love is near

I meet her, she meets me

Stirring deep into my heart

And when I kiss her flowers

I feel a deep pain in me

I kiss the roses

I kiss the light

Yet I cannot say: "I love you!"

No word is ever needed

Only the sight matters

The moist dew freezes on the thorns

And my world is ruffled

To see her is so wonderful

I cannot resist her scent

So unique is her figure

Yet the doubts persist

Plucked with the lips of rose flowers

Until only one remains

And she asks: "Say, do you love me?"

And I reply: "I love you!"

I kiss the roses

I kiss the light

And she says: "I love you!"
