by Vasile Alecsandri (1821 - 1890)
Translation by Josef Wiedemann (1828 - 1919)

Primăvara cea verzie
Language: Romanian (Română) 
Primăvara cea verzie
Cu cosiţa-i aurie
Mi-au sosit voios în ţară,
Drăguliţa primăvară!

Ş-au adus un dulce soare,
Ş-un sân plin de lăcrimioare.
Ş-au adus o lună plină
Ca s-o scalde în lumină.

Lunca râde şi-nverzeşte,
Doru-n suflet se trezeşte.
Izvoraşul curge-n vale
Şi-mi aduce dor de cale.

Daţi-mi, daţi-mi aripioare,
C-aud glasuri de cucoare.
Daţi-mi aripi sprintinele,
C-aud glas de rândunele.

Să mă duc în depărtare,
Peste munţi şi peste mare.
Să mă duc în lumea-ntreagă
Ca o pasere pribeagă.

Duce-m-aş în cale lungă,
Dor să nu mă mai ajungă!
Duce-m-aş şi m-aş tot duce,
Dor să nu mă mai apuce!

Frühlingslied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Romanian (Română) 
Frühling ist, der grüne, holde,
mit der Sonne mildem Golde
heiter mir ins Land gekommen,
Frühling, tausendmal willkommen!

Kommt mit Blumen reich beladen,
um in ihrem Duft zu baden,
mit des Mondes reinstem Lichte
mild verklärt im Angesichte.

Hain und Flur erblüh'n im Kreise,
und im Herzen regt sich's leise,
Bächlein rinnt zum Tal hinunter,
Wandern! klingts im Herzen munter.

Gebt mir, gebt  mir leichte Schwingen,
denn ich hör' den Kuckuck singen,
gebt mir hurtiges Gefieder,
denn die Schwalben kehren wieder.

Dass ich in die Fremde eile,
ohne Rast und ohne Weile,
dass ich wie ein Vöglein irre
durch der Erde bunt Gewirre.

In die Fernen wollt' ich ziehen,
Sehnsucht, dir nur zu entfliehen,
wollt' der Welten Raum ermessen,
Liebe, deiner zu vergessen.
