Der Frühling

(Sung text for setting by C. Bach)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT ENG FRE ITA

Erwacht zum neuen Leben
Steht vor mir die Natur,
Und sanfte Lüfte weben
Durch die beschneite Flur.
Empor aus seiner Hülle
Drängt sich der junge Halm,
Der Wälder öde Stille
Belebt der Vögel Psalm.

 ... 

O Vater, deine Milde
Fühlt Berg und Tal und Au,
Es grünen die Gefilde,
Beperlt vom Morgentau;
Der Blumenweid' entgegen
Blöckt schon die Herd' im Tal,
Und in dem Staube regen
Sich Würmer ohne Zahl.

 ... 

Lobsing' ihm, meine Seele,
Dem Gott, der Freuden schafft!
Lobsing' ihm und erzähle
Die Werke seiner Kraft!
Hier von dem Blumenhügel
Bis zu der Sterne Bahn
Steig' auf der Andacht Flügel
Dein Loblied himmelan!

Note (courtesy Laura Prichard): This is the second of three songs that Mozart entered in his Verzeichnis on January 4, 1791. Mozart titled the song "Im Frühlings Anfange" (In Spring’s Beginning), but the first edition had the title "Dankesempfindungen gegen den Schöpfer des Frühlings" (Thankful Feelings Toward the Creator of Spring).

La primavera

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Bach)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

La natura si risveglia a nuova vita
si erge davanti a me,
E brezze leggere percorrono
l’innevata campagna.
Il giovane tronco si spinge verso l’alto
fuori dalle sue vecchie spoglie,
L’inno degli uccelli riempie di vita
il silenzio muto della foresta.
