Frühlingslied

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Blaue, blaue Luft, grüner, grüner Wald!
Es zittern die Blumen im Sonnenschein
und winken und möchten gebrochen sein.
Mädchen wohin? In den Wald.

Nachtigallklang, Lerchengesang
und all das Sehnen in treuer Brust
löst sich in Leben und Lieb' und Lust.
Strömt jubelnd, jubelnd dahin im Gesang,
Grüner, grüner Wald und Nachtigallklang.

Chant de printemps

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

L'air bleu, bleu, la forêt verte, verte !
Les fleurs tremblent dans l'éclat du soleil,
Et font des signes et voudraient être cueillies.
Où sont les jeunes filles ? Dans la forêt.

Le cri du rossignol, le chant de l'alouette
Et tout le désir dans le sein fidèle
Se dissout dans la vie, l'amour et le plaisir.
Il coule joyeusement, joyeusement là-bas en chantant.
La forêt verte, verte et le cri du rossignol.
