Liebesfrühling

(Sung text for setting by F. Krinninger)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Ich sah den Lenz einmal
Erwacht im schönsten Tal;
Ich sah der Liebe Licht
Im schönsten Angesicht.

Und wandl' ich nun allein
Im Frühling durch den Hain,
Erscheint aus jedem Strauch
Ihr Angesicht mir auch.

Und seh ich sie am Ort
Wo längst der Frühling fort,
So sprießt ein Lenz und schallt
Um ihre süße Gestalt.

Printemps de l'amour

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Krinninger)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Un jour, j'ai vu le printemps
Fleurir dans la plus belle des vallées;
Je voyais la lumière de l'amour
Dans le plus beau des visages.

Et maintenant que seul je parcours
Au printemps les bois,
Dans chaque buisson m'apparaît
Aussi son visage.

Et si je la vois en ce lieu
Depuis longtemps abandonné du printemps,
Un printemps germe et retentit
Autour de sa douce image.
