(from Schleife)
Translated by H. Melvin Symmank

A tree stands there in the deep valley
O beautiful Rose!
A tree stands there in the deep valley
Bears a very beautiful little apple.
O beautiful Rose!

There came a wind and shook the tree
O beautiful Rose!
There came a wind and shook the tree
All the apples fell off
O beautiful Rose!

Went there, picked a little apple up
O beautiful Rose!
Went there, picked a little apple up
Placed it in the box
O beautiful Rose!

A little time passed by,
O beautiful Rose!
A little time passed by,
It started to fade
O beautiful Rose!

Took a knife, cut it in half
O beautiful Rose!
Took a knife, cut it in half
Seeds fell around it
O beautiful Rose!

From the seed grew a shoot
O beautiful Rose!
From the seed grew a shoot
A beautiful straight green shoot
O beautiful Rose!

Young shoot, laughed out loud
O beautiful Rose!
Laughed little Ann out loud
Next year (you) are a bride.
O beautiful Rose!
