Im Lenz, im Lenz

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG ENG FRE

Im Lenz, im Lenz,
Wenn Veilchen blühn zuhauf,
Gib acht, gib acht,
Da wachen die Tränen auf.
 
Im Herbst, im Herbst
Fiel alles Laub vom Baum.
Ach, Lieb' und Glück
Vergangen wie ein Traum!
 
Gib acht, gib acht,
So ist der Dinge Lauf:
Blumen und Wunden
Brechen im Frühling auf.

In spring

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

In spring, in spring,
When the violets bloom in masses,
Take care, take care,
Then the tears awaken.

In autumn, in autumn
All the leaves fell from the trees.
Ah, love and happiness
Passed away like a dream!

Take care, take care,
That is the way of the world:
Flowers and wounds
Break open in spring.
