Available translations (or transliterations, if applicable): 


Der Schmetterling ist in die Rose verliebt,
Umflattert sie tausendmal,
Ihn selber aber goldig [und] zart
Umflattert der [liebende]1 Sonnenstrahl.

[Jedoch]2, in wen ist die Rose verliebt?
Das wüßt' ich gar [so]3 gern.
Ist es die singende Nachtigall?
Ist [es]4 der schweigende Abendstern?

Ich weiß nicht, in wen die Rose verliebt;
Ich aber lieb' euch all?:
[Rose]5, Schmetterling, Sonnenstrahl,
Abendstern und Nachtigall.
