Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn die Lerchen wiederkommen 
Und am First die Schwalbe singt, 
Ist all' schweres Leid genommen, 
Thal und Berg voll Jubel klingt. 

Denn die Frühlingszeit 
Schaffet weit und breit: 
Jauchz', du Herz, in Seligkeit!

1.
Language: English 
When the larks return
And the swallow sings from the ridge,
All oppressive distress is taken away,
Valley and peak ring with jubilation.

For the time of spring 
Emerges far and wide:
Rejoice, O heart, in exaltation!
