Muntrer Bach, was rauschst Du so?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Muntrer Bach, was rauschst Du so?
Rauschst so lauter, klar und froh;
Wirfst den hellen Silberschaum
An der Ufer grünen Saum -
   "Meinen Blumen, die da lauschen,
   Muß ich frohe Botschaft rauschen,
   Daß der Mai gekommen ist!"

Lerche hoch in Sonnenschein,
O wie jubelst Du so rein!
Steigst mit Liedern himmelan,
Daß der Blick nicht folgen kann -
   "Hoch gen Himmel muß ichs bringen,
   Und den Wolken muß ichs singen,
   Daß der Mai gekommen ist!"

Liebes Herz in voller Brust,
O was [klopfst]1 Du so in Lust?
Und in ungestümem Drang
Jubelst Du so selig bang? -
   "Laß mich jubeln, laß mich klagen,
   Laß mich klopfen, laß mich schlagen,
   Weil der Mai gekommen ist!"
