Tomorrow is the first of May
      Hurray!
That is why, so beautifully, so beautifully the mountain peaks
Glow and flame in the setting sun.
That is why the last little cloud has passed away,
That is why the roads and paths sparkle so cleanly
From the storms and rains of April,
That is why everything, everything wishes to adorn itself.
That is why all the meadows shine with such freshness,
That is why the birds sing with a loud sound,
So that their jubilant cry rings out widely:
Tomorrow is the first of May
      Hurray!

Tomorrow is the first of May
      Hurray!
That is why many a scented blossom burst open as well,
That is why the stream flows so rapidly,
That is why breezes blow so freshly through the valley as well
And send the sweetest scent  ... ,
That is why the forest is soughing freely and happily,
That is why my heart laughs so within my breast,
That is why I am moved so familiarly, so familiarly in my innermost being,
That is why as I wander my singing resounds so loudly
That my cry of jubilation rings out into the distance!
Tomorrow is the first of May
      Hurray!
