Das ist ein Tag, der klingen mag

Das ist ein Tag, der klingen mag --
  Die Wachtel schlägt im Korn,
Die Lerche jauchzt mit Jubelschlag
Wohl überm hellen grünen Hag,
  Der Jäger bläst in's Horn.

Frau Nachtigall ruft süßen Schall,
  Durch's Laub ein Flüstern zieht,
Das Echo tönt im Widerhall,
Es klingt und singt allüberall --:
  Das ist ein Frühlingslied!

C'est un jour pour chanter

C'est un jour pour chanter --
  La caille chante dans le champ de blé,
L'alouette lance des cris de joie et d'allégresse,
Tout au dessus de la haie vert vif,
  Le chasseur souffle dans son cor.

Madame Rossignol appelle avec des sons doux,
  À travers les feuilles un murmure s'étend,
L'écho retentit en réponse,
Cela résonne et chante tout autour -- :
  C'est un chant de printemps !
