Frühlingsjubel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Nun die Falter wieder scherzen
Nach dem langen Wintertraum, 
Lustig um die Blüthenkerzen
Fliegen am Kastanienbaum, 
Nun die Amseln wieder schlagen 
Froh den Halm zu Neste tragen: 
  Gieb den Düften deine Pein, 
  Zaudre nicht und juble drein!

  Nun die Schwalben keck sich wiegen 
Froh im blauen Äthermeer, 
Sie die Lerchen überfliegen, 
Ringsum klingt ein Lied daher, 
Nun die Sträuche, nun die Bäume 
Träumen ihre schönsten Träume: 
  Gieb den Düften deine Pein, 
  Zaudre nicht und juble drein!

  Nun die Sonne früh am Morgen 
Alsobald in's Herz dir lacht 
Und für dich noch hält geborgen 
Abends ihre tiefste Pracht,
Nun du magst von allen Sternen 
Nachts den Jubelreigen lernen: 
  Gieb den Düften deine Pein, 
  Zaudre nicht und juble drein!

Spring rejoicing
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Add this translation to your Reprint Basket
Now that the butterflies are jesting again
After the long winter dream,
Merrily flying about the blossom-candles
Upon the chestnut tree,
Now that the blackbirds are singing again,
Joyfully carrying straws to their nest:
Give your pain over to the scents,
Do not hesitate and join in the rejoicing!

Now that the swallows are jauntily swaying
Joyfully in the blue sea of the aether,
They fly higher than the skylarks,
All around a song is resounding,
Now that the bushes, the trees
Are dreaming their most beautiful dreams:
Give your pain over to the scents,
Do not hesitate and join in the rejoicing!

Now that, early in the morning, the sun 
Laughs immediately into your heart,
And still in the evening securely holds
Its most profound splendour for you,
Now that you can learn the rejoicing roundelay
From all the stars:
Give your pain over to the scents,
Do not hesitate and join in the rejoicing!
