Rausche, rausche, froher Bach
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Rausche, rausche, froher Bach, Küsse die Blumen am Ufer wach! O wie werden sie dir's danken, Hold zu dir sie niederschwanken, Und in deinen Wellen licht Lachend spiegeln ihr Angesicht! Horch, o horch, mit lautem Ton Grüßet dich freudig die Amsel schon, Schau, wie ist's an deinen Borden Überall schon grün geworden, Gelt, nun läßt's dir's keine Ruh, Frischer, muntrer Geselle du! Ach! wie freuen Busch und Baum Sich auf den wonnigen Sommertraum, O wie werden sie sich neigen Froh zu dir mit ihren Zweigen, Erlen, Weiden allzumal In dem lustigen Wiesenthal! Rausche, rausche, froher Bach, Bald ist der schlummernde Frühling wach! Rasch auf deinen schönen Wegen Zieh dem Lieblichen entgegen, Bis im Maien, dankerfreut, Ganz mit Blüthen er dich bestreut!
H. Schläger sets stanzas 1-2, 4

View text with all available footnotesConfirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser. 1842-1874, Basel: Benno Schwabe Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, pages 30-31.
Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "überall" becomes "Ueberall", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography; since the lower-case version is not "ueberall we use "Überall".

Murmur, murmur, merry brook
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Murmur, murmur, merry brook, Awaken the flowers on your banks with kisses! Oh, how grateful they shall be, How gracefully they shall bend down toward you, And in your bright waves Their faces shall laughingly be reflected! Hearken, oh hearken, with a loud sound The blackbird is already joyfully greeting you! Look how along your borders everywhere It has already become green; That makes you restless, doesn't it? Flow more quickly, you jaunty fellow! Ah! how the bushes and trees Look forward to the bonny dream of summer! Oh, how they shall happily lean Down toward you with their branches, Both alders and willows together, In the airy valley's meadow! Murmur, murmur, merry brook, Soon the slumbering spring shall awaken! Quickly upon your lovely pathways Journey toward the lovely spring, Till in May, gratefully joyous, Spring shall shower you with blossoms!
