Willkommen im Grünen!
Der Himmel ist blau, 
Und blumig die Au!
Der Lenz ist erschienen!
Er spiegelt sich hell
Am luftigen Quell, 
  Willkommen im Grünen!

Willkommen im Grünen!
Das Vögelchen springt
Auf Sprossen, und singt:
Der Lenz ist erschienen!
Ihm säuselt der West
Ums heimliche Nest,
 Willkommen im Grünen!

In ’t groen hier!

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Mendelssohn)

See original

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

Wees welkom in ’t groen hier!
De hemel is blauw,
Vol bloemen de gouw,
De lente verscheen weer!
Al spieg’lend zij won
Haar beeld in de bron,
Wees welkom in ’t groen hier!

Wees welkom in ’t groen hier!
Het vogeltje springt
Op takken en zingt:
De lente verscheen weer!
Een briesje uit west
Omsuizelt zijn nest,
Wees welkom in ’t groen hier!
