Sängerlust
Language: German (Deutsch)
Hinaus in das Grün, hinaus in das Feld!
Es athmet in Gottes geräumiger Welt
Weit freier die kräftige Brust.
Wie die Sternlein glänzen am Himmelsraum,
Wie die Röslein lächeln mit purpurnem Saum,
So lacht uns im Herzen die Lust.
Die Mütze bekränzt mit der Eichen Grün,
Das Auge so klar, die Stirne so kühn,
So schreiten wir Sänger dahin.
Rings hauchen die Lüfte des Willkomms Kuß,
Wir schwingen die Mütze mit freundlichem Gruß
Und schwärmen mit heiterem Sinn.
Fort Sorgen und Müh'n, fort Bangen und Schmerz!
Noch umspielt ja die Jugend der rosige Scherz,
Noch duften die Fluren so hold.
Die Liebe, sie webt uns den farbigsten Kranz,
Auf der Stirne malt sich ein himmlischer Glanz,
Es strahlet das Auge von Gold.
Nur frisch in das Leben, nur frisch in den Tag!
So lang uns noch grüßet der Lerchenschlag,
Tönt's voll aus dem Herzen und laut.
Wie sonnig der Lenz die Blumen umhüllt,
Sei sonnig das Herz mit Jubel erfüllt,
Sei Frohsinn die liebliche Braut!

Singers' joy
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Out into the greenery, out into the field!
In God’s capacious world the powerful breast
Breathes far more freely.
As the little stars sparkle on the sky’s expanse,
As the little roses smile with their crimson borders,
Thus joy laughs within our hearts.
Our cap wreathed with the green of the oak,
Our eyes so clear, our brows so valiant,
Thus we singers stride along.
Round about, the winds breathe a kiss of welcome,
We swing our caps with a friendly greeting
And rhapsodize with a cheerful spirit.
Away worries and labours, away trepidation and pain!
For the rosy pleasantries of youth still play about us,
The meadows still give off such a lovely scent.
Love, it weaves us the most colourful wreath,
Upon our brows a heavenly radiance limns itself,
Our eyes beam with gold.
Only briskly into life, only briskly into the day!
As long as the sound of the lark still greets us,
Our song rings forth from our hearts fully and loudly.
As sunnily as springtime envelops the flowers,
May our hearts be sunnily filled with rejoicing,
May gaiety be our lovely bride!
