Auf der Heide blüh'n die letzten Rosen

The Last Roses Bloom on the Heath

On the heath, the last roses bloom
Brown leaves tiredly fall from the tree
And the autumn wind kisses the autumn crocuses
With the summer, many youthful dreams flee
I'd like to caress like back then once more
I'd like to dream of spring and of happiness
On the heath, the last roses bloom
Ah, the time of youth never returns

The time of spring has sunk
No bird sings in the linden grove
The world loses its floral dress
And soon winter will come
Forsaken is the elderberry bush
Where I once kissed
A scent remains like a whisper
From distant days

On the heath, the last roses bloom
Brown leaves tiredly fall from the tree
And the autumn wind kisses the autumn crocuses
With the summer, many youthful dreams flee
I'd like to caress like back then once more
I'd like to dream of spring and of happiness
On the heath, the last roses bloom
Ah, the time of youth never returns

Sweet youth, sweet youth
If only you would come back to me once
