Looking for the lyrics to a Swiss song called “Roti Rosli”

Kimberly wrote me…

Hello Mama!

Actually, there is a very sweet Swiss bedtime childrens’ song called: “Roti Rosli”. My daughter learned this song when she was about 3, and I am trying to find the lyrics in both Swiss and English. How can I find them? Any suggestions? Or do you have them? I just happened upon your site by chance.

Thanks very much for any help.

Sincerely,

Kimberly Folts

If anyone knows the lyrics to Roti Rosli, please comment below.

Thanks! Lisa

UPDATE: The original lyrics have been posted in the comments below. If anyone can provide an English translation, that’d be great!

   Roti Rösli im Garte,
   Maieriesli im Wald
   Wänn de Wind chunt choge blase
   so verwelked si bald

   Chlini Fischli im Wasser,
   grossi Fische im Meer
   Hei lueg wie si gumped
   und schwümed juhee

   Liebi Sunne chum füre,
   liebi Sune chum bald
   Das mir chönd go spaziere
   über Wiese und Wald

   Julie Steiner sent me an English translation…

   Red Roses

   Red roses in the garden,
   lilies of the valley in the wood
   When the wind comes blowing
   they’ll fade soon

   Small fishes in the lake,
   big fishes in the sea
   Hey look how they jump
   and swim, yuhee

   Dear sun come forth
   dear sun come soon
   That we can go walking
   over meadow and wood

   The dialect printed here is from Zurich but it actually exists in all dialects (the words vary a little then).

   Thanks Julie!
