(Schlager)
Schlager (German Schlager, literally "hitter" or, more loosely translated, "a hit") is a style of popular music that is prevalent in northern Europe, in particular Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Latvia and Lithuania, but also to a lesser extent in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Typical schlager tracks are either sweet, highly sentimental ballads with a simple, catchy melody or light, pleasant, throwaway pop tunes. Its lyrics are typically centered around love and relationships, and feelings. The northern variant of schlager, most notably in Finland, has taken elements from Nordic and Slavic folk songs, with texts tending towards melancholia and elegiac themes.

Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen
Wolfgang Petry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aus einer Wurzel zart,
Wie uns die Alten sungen
Von Jesse kam die Art
Und hat ein Blümlein bracht
Mitten im kalten Winter,
Wohl zu der halben Nacht.
Davon Jesaja sagt,
Hat uns gebracht alleine
Marie, die reine Magd;
Aus Gottes ew'gem Rat
Hat sie ein Kind geboren
- welches uns selige macht.
The German lyrics "Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen" is an ancient hymn that has been adapted and translated many times over the years. In Wolfgang Petry's version, the song tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ through the metaphor of a rose that has sprouted from the unlikely place of a delicate root. The lyrics recount how the ancient prophet Jesse foretold the arrival of a savior in his lineage, and how Mary, the pure maiden, ultimately gave birth to the child that would bring salvation to humanity.
The first stanza speaks of the appearance of the rose, which came to life from a delicate root, and the connection between it and the prophecy of Jesse. The "half of the night" refers to the nativity story which occurred at nighttime. In the second stanza, the meaning of the rose becomes clearer, as it is revealed to represent Mary herself, who brought the child into the world according to God's plan, fulfilling the prophecy of Jesse.
In Wolfgang Petry's rendition of "Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen," the melody is delicate and wistful, perfectly complementing the lyrics' religious themes. The song's message of hope and redemption has resonated with listeners for centuries and continues to inspire people today.
