Rose Red

Rose Red, white as snow
Queen of forest and clover
I gave you my heart.
Rose Red
Therefore become my bride
 
Where the song of the black horn sings
And the raven sounds wise
Where ghosts strife the bogs
And where two sisters spin in a dance
Two sisters spin in a dance
 
In the forest I found tranquility
Also protection at your fire
A ruse of dwarfs bound me in a spell
Until I can be a prince once again
 
Rose Red white as snow
Queen of forest and clover
I gave you my heart
Rose Red
Therefore become my bride
(Hey)
 
Three times I have to prove myself
To three blessings, three lessons
I expect you under the protection of the forest
Where I wander through fern and dosh
Where I wander through fern and dosh
 
The way is long, the wind is cold
Lead me into your forest
Keeper of tree and animal
Take the bearlike coat off me
 
Rose Red, white as snow
Queen of forest and clover
I gave you my heart
Rose Red
 
Hundreds of years
I have been away from this place
(You have been away from me)
And just like that, the spell breaks
 
Rose Red, white as snow
Queen of forest and clover
I gave you my heart
Rose Red
 
Rose Red white as snow
Queen of forest and clover
I gave you my heart
Rose Red
Therefore become my bride
 
Therefore become my bride

Thanks for this wonderful translate! I am not a german native but there is one suggestion i could point out. The word "anvertrauen" means "entrust" or "give sth. in trust". Therefore, replacing the translation of "Mein Herz hab ich dir anvertraut." with "I entrusted my heart to you." seems more plausible to me.

Hi, not a German speaker (but your translation seems really good!), but from knowing the fairy tale, 'weiß wie Schnee' might be better as 'Snow White' than 'white as snow'? Rose Red and Snow White (not with the Dwarfs) were the sisters with the bear in the story. Awesome job, though!
