Inhaling it, it will become more beautiful,
And the sun in joyful languor
The dance will perform its rays.
And just who with holy water
The surrounding area will be covered with dew.
And soaring above the vanity,
You cherish tenderness in your soul.
To the rosehip flower - baby,
Rose in the morning.
And joy rises to the heart
And you believe: the world is arranged wisely.

May I not be a rose...
Let me not be a rose, but a wild rose,
Blossomed in May by the roads,
Spring's flaming lover,
A branch-covered palace.
And in the mystery of the nightingale,
Quietly dropping the petals
I pave the way for my beloved
Catching the last sorry.
But a year will pass, spring will return,
The nightingales will sing,
The dew will fall on the petals
Like a pure elixir of love.
And who will try a sip,
Love knows depth
And the transience of spring nights,
And long, long days length. (With)
