Es hat die warme Frühlingsnacht Die Blumen hervorgetrieben, Und nimmt mein Herz sich nicht in acht, So wird es sich wieder verlieben. Doch welche von den Blumen alln Wird mir das Herz umgarnen? Es wollen die singenden Nachtigalln Mich vor der Lilje warnen.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Es treibt [dich]1 fort von Ort zu Ort, Du weißt nicht mal warum; Im Winde klingt ein sanftes Wort, Schaust dich verwundert um. Die Liebe, die dahinten blieb, Sie ruft dich sanft zurück: "O komm zurück, ich hab dich lieb, Du bist mein einz'ges Glück!" Doch weiter, weiter, sonder Rast, Du darfst nicht stille stehn; Was du so sehr geliebet hast, Sollst du nicht wiedersehn.

2.
Language: English
It urges you forth from place to place, You don’t even know why; A tender word rings in the breeze, And you look about in confusion. The love that remained behind, Gently calls you back: “Oh, come back, I love you, You are my sole happiness!’ Yet onward, onward, without rest, You cannot remain in one place; That which you have loved so deeply, You may never see again.

Language: English
Balmy breezes are awakened, They whisper and move day and night, And everywhere creative. O fresh scent, o new sound! Now, poor heart, don't be afraid. Now all, all must change. With each day the world grows fairer, One cannot know what is still to come, The flowering refuses to cease. Even the deepest, most distant valley is in flower. Now, poor heart, forget your torment. Now all, all must change.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Wir [wollten]1 mit Kosen und Lieben Geniessen der köstlichen Nacht. Wo sind doch die Stunden geblieben? Es ist ja der Hahn schon erwacht. Die Sonne, die bringt viel Leiden, Es weinet die scheidende Nacht; Ich also muß weinen und scheiden, Es ist ja die Welt schon erwacht. Ich wollt' es gäb' keine Sonne, Als eben dein Auge so klar. Wir weilten in Tag und in Wonne, Und schliefe die Welt immerdar.

4. Morning dew
Language: English
With caresses and loving, we [wished]1 To enjoy the delightful night. Where have the hours gone? The rooster is already awake, The sun, it brings much sorrow, The passing night weeps; So I must weep and depart, For the world is already awake I wish there were no sun Save for your eyes so clear, We would tarry in daylight and bliss, And the world would sleep forever.
