Rosy Red
A lass saw a little rose there
It was blossoming there in the light hights
Thus she addressed her beloved one
Whether he was able to climb to pick it for her
She wants it and it's great like this
It was like this and always will be
She wants it and that's the custom
She will also get what she wants
One has to dig deep wells
If one wants to get clear water
Rosy red oh rosy red
Deep waters don't run still*
The lad is climbing the mountain in pain
He isn't interested in the view at all
He has only the little rose on his mind
He'll carry it to his sweetheart
She wants it and it's great like this
It was like this and always will be
She wants it and that's the custom
She will also get what she wants
One has to dig deep wells
If one wants to get clear water
Rosy red oh rosy red
Deep waters don't run still
A stone is breaking at his boots
It doesn't want to stay at the rock
And a scream announces to anyone that
Both are falling into the abyss
She wants it and it's great like this
It was like this and always will be
She wants it and that's the custom
She will also get what she wants
One has to dig deep wells
If one wants to get clear water
Rosy red oh rosy red
Deep waters don't run still

*The proverb is changed in this song. Usually it goes like this: "Stille Wasser sind tief." - "Still waters run deep".
