Original text and translations
German text
Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
aus einer Wurzel zart,
wie uns die Alten sungen,
von Jesse kam die Art.
English translation
Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming
from tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse’s lineage coming,
as men of old have sung.
Italian translation
E' nata una rosa
Da una tenera radice,
Come cantavano gli antichi
Dalla stirpe di Jesse.
Dutch translation
Er is ensarn roos ontsprongen,
uit ene wortelstam,
die lijk ons d'ouden zongen,
uit Jesse 't leven nam.
