Maiglöckchen läutet in dem Tal
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Maiglöckchen läutet in dem Tal,
Das klingt so hell und fein;
So kommt zum Reigen allzumal,
Ihr lieben Blümelein!

Die Blümchen blau und gelb und weiß,
Die kommen all herbei,
Vergißmeinnicht und Ehrenpreis
Zeitlos' und Akelei.

Maiglöckchen spielt zum Tanz im Nu
Und Alle tanzen dann;
Der Mond sieht ihnen freundlich zu, 
Hat seine Freude dran.

Den Junker Reif verdroß das sehr,
Er kommt ins Tal hinein;
Maiglöckchen spielt zum Tanz nicht mehr,
Fort sind die Blümelein.

Doch kaum der Reif das Tal verläßt,
Da rufet wiederum
Maiglöckchen zu dem Frühlingsfest
Und läutet bim bam bum.

Nun hält's auch mich nicht mehr zu Haus,
Maiglöckchen ruft auch mich:
Die Blümchen geh'n zum Tanz hinaus,
Zum Tanze geh' auch ich.

't Meiklokje klingelt in het dal
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
't Meiklokje klingelt in het dal;
Dat klinkt zo hel en fijn.
Dus kom maar dansen allemaal,
O bloempjes, lief en klein!
 
De bloempjes, blauw en geel en wit,
Die komen allen, blij:
Vergeet-me-niet en ereprijs,
Tijloos en akelei.
 
't Meiklokje speelt ten dans meteen
En allen dansen dan;
De maan kijkt vriend'lijk en sereen,
Heeft veel plezier daarvan.
 
Maar jonker Rijp verdroot dat zeer;
Hij overdekt het dal;
Meiklokje speelt ten dans niet meer,
Weg zijn de bloempjes al.
 
Maar net is Rijp in 't dal geweest,
Daar roept al wederom
Meiklokje op voor 't lentefeest;
En klingelt bim bam bom.
 
Nu kan ook ik niet thuis meer zijn,
Meiklokje roept ook mij:
De bloempjes gaan naar 't dansfestijn,
Dus daar ben ik ook bij.
