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!
