Der Frühling

(Sung text for setting by J. Brahms)

See base text

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA

Es lockt und säuselt um den Baum:
Wach auf aus deinem Schlaf und Traum,
Der Winter ist zerronnen.
Da schlägt er frisch den Blick empor,
Die Augen sehen hell hervor
Ans goldne Licht der Sonnen.

Es zieht ein Wehen sanft und lau,
Geschaukelt in dem Wolkenbau
Wie Himmelsduft hernieder.
Da werden alle Blumen wach,
Da tönt der Vögel schmelzend Ach,
Da kehrt der Frühling wieder.

 ... 

Es weht der Wind den Blütenstaub
Von Kelch zu Kelch, von Laub zu Laub,
Durch Tage und durch Nächte.
Flieg auch, mein Herz, und flattre fort,
Such hier ein Herz und such es dort,
Du triffst vielleicht das Rechte.

De lente

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

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

Het lokt en suizelt rond de boom:
Ontwaak nu uit je slaap en droom,
De winter is verdwenen.
Omhoog slaat hij de blik nu klaar,
De ogen kijken helder naar
Het goud, door zon geschenen.

Er waait een windje, zacht en lauw,
Het duikelt uit de wolkenbouw
Als hemelgeur naar onder.
De bloemen komen voor de dag,
Daar klinkt van vogels ‘t smeltend ‘Ach’,
Weer komt het lentewonder.

 ... 

De wind verwaait het stuifmeelstof
Van bloem naar bloem, van hof naar hof,
Bij dag en nacht een schare.
Vlieg op, mijn hart, en fladder maar,
Zoek hier een hart en zoek het daar,
Je treft wellicht het ware.
