Gesang im Grünen
 (Sung text for setting by B. Randhartinger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Im Wald, im hellen Sonnenschein
Wenn alle Knospen springen,
Da mag ich gerne mittendrein
Eins singen.

Wie mir zu Muth in Leid und Lust,
Im Wachen und im Träumen,
Das stimm' ich an aus voller Brust
Den Bäumen.

Und sie verstehen mich gar fein,
Die Blätter alle lauschen,
Und fall'n am rechten Orte ein,
Mit Rauschen.

Und weiter wandelt Schall und Hall,
In Wipfeln, Fels und Büschen.
Hell schmettert auch Frau Nachtigall
Dazwischen.

Da fühlt die Brust am eignen Klang,
Sie darf sich was erkühnen --
O frische Luft: Gesang! Gesang
Im Grünen!
