Der Schnee ist zergangen, Der Winter ist fort, ist fort, Nun Liebchen, nun laß dein Bangen, Ich halte mein Wort. Der Lenz fliegt geschwinde, Ist da wie zur Nacht ein Dieb, Doch schneller als Frühlingswinde Fliegt Liebe zum Lieb. Und eh' noch der Morgen Die Veilchen, die ersten gegrüßt. Sind all deine bangen Sorgen Hinweg schon geküßt.

The snow has melted, Winter is gone, is gone, Now sweetheart, now leave off your trepidation, I shall keep my word. Spring flies rapidly, It arrives like a thief at night, But more quickly than spring-winds Love flies to the beloved. And before the morning Has yet greeted the first violets. All of your anxious worries Shall already be kissed away.
