Frühling ist da
Language: German (Deutsch)
Lieb' Kindlein, wach auf, der Frühling ist da, ich hab' ihn heut' morgen gesprochen; er war etwas müde vom weiten Weg und den letzten kalten Wochen! Der Winter, so sprach er, der böse Gesell', er wollte gutwillig nicht weichen. Da nahm Freund Südwind die Backen recht voll und blies ihzn aus meinen Reichen! Die Augen lachten ihm sonnig hell, als er die Bäume gerüttelt; ein Blütenregen fiel rings herab, wo er die Locken geschüttelt. Komm schnell nun heraus, es ist eine Pracht, und sieh nur die Veilchen, die süßen! Die hatb der Frühling dir mitgebracht und lässt mein Kindlein grüßen.

The Spring is Here
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
My darling, awake, the spring is here, this morning I gave her my greeting; she was somewhat weary from wide, wide way and the last week's chilly meeting! The winter, she told me, our blustering friend, would not in good fellowship sever, and so friend Southwind his cheeks drew quite full and blew him away forever. Her eyes were laughing as dear sunlight as she the branches set quaking; a show'r of blossoms fell all around as her fair locks she was shaking! Come, darling, come, see the splendor he wrought, come, see but the violets, sweetest, violets spring-time to thee hath brought to send my darling one greeting.
Note: from the Hildach score.
