Gute Reise, Schöne Rose [English translation]

*Bon Voyage, my beautiful rose

I am happy to let you go

For you were way too beautiful

for my little garden.

You are a snake in the grass

I didn't see for a long time

Yet I'm not afraid of it

You won’t be alone for a long time

I'm not afraid of it

You won’t be alone for a long time

Love comes, that's for sure

Thus if you like

the rose red, the sky blue,

then the world is ours!

There was also a rose

I tried to run after

But I don't love her anymore

since she stung me

Repeat *

Cupid shoots whoever he wants

And they say that the wretch

Whom he shot

only speaks through the flower

But if this scoundrel

speaks through the rose

You would immediately go mad

for it stings so hard.

Repeat *

Love goes, that's for sure

Even if you like it

empty and desolate, grey and drab

Then the world is ours!

Whether you laugh or cry

Or get drunk quietly?

To me, you're never wrong

when you sing

Repeat *
