(Sung text for setting by F. Mendelssohn)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG

Sie wandelt im Blumengarten
Und mustert den bunten Flor,
Und alle die Kleinen warten
Und schauen zu ihr empor.

»Und seid ihr denn Frühlingsboten,
Verkündend was stets so neu,
So werdet auch meine Boten
An ihn, der mich liebt so treu.«

So überschaut sie die Habe
Und ordnet den lieblichen Strauß,
Und reicht dem Freunde die Gabe,
Und weicht seinem Blicke aus.

Was Blumen und Farben meinen,
O deutet, o fragt das nicht,
Wenn aus den Augen der Einen
Der süßeste Frühling spricht.

Het boeket

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Mendelssohn)

Matches original text

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Zij wandelt in ‘t bloementuintje
En monstert het bont tapijt,
En zie, al die bloempjes wachten
En kijken naar haar, verblijd.
 
“Zijn jullie dan lenteboden,
Vertellend het nieuws steeds gauw,
Breng dan ook voor mij een boodschap
Aan hem die mij mint zo trouw.”
 
Zij overziet haar verzaam’ling
En ordent het lieflijk boeket,
En reikt haar vriend zo een gave,
En .
 
Wat bloemen en kleuren zeggen,
O gis niet, en niet gesmeekt,
Als uit het oog van die ene
De lieflijkste lente spreekt.
