Die Erde ist erschlossen, die Blumen sind entsprossen, ringsum hat sich ergossen wonnevoller Blütenduft. Die Täler all erklingen, der Sturm kann nicht mehr zwingen die Vöglein, die sich schwingen jubelnd in die blaue Luft. Die Kälte ist geschwunden, der Mai ist wiederfunden fröhlich in Maienblüten. Winter kalt, dich hüte vor seinem Sonnenscheine! Lass den in Freuden leben, der dir sich ganz ergeben, lebet nur dir alleine, Liebchen, süss, du Eine, mit Treuen ich dich meine.

Earth has unlocked its bosom, The flowers have sprung up, All about delightful scents Have been poured out. The valleys all resound, Storms can no longer coerce The birds, who soar aloft Rejoicing into the blue sky. Coldness has vanished, May has turned up again Joyfully [clad] in mayflowers, Cold winter, beware Of May's sunshine! Let him live in happiness Who has given himself utterly to you, Who only lives for you, Sweet beloved, you sole one, With faithfulness you are the one I mean.
