Im Wald, im hellen Sonnenschein

(Sung text for setting by J. Rosenhain)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG 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 Lust: Gesang
Im Grünen!

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

In 't bos, in held're zonneschijn

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Rosenhain)

See original

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

In 't bos, in held're zonneschijn,
Als alle knoppen springen,
Ik wil heel graag in dat festijn
Eens zingen.

Hoe ik me voel in lief en leed,
In waken en in dromen,
Dat presenteer 'k met luide kreet
De bomen.

En zij verstaan ook elk procent,
Ja, alle blaad'ren luist'ren
En vallen in op 't juist moment
Met ruisen.

En verder zwerft mijn tonentaal
Naar toppen, rotsen, bosjes.
Luid kwettert ook de nachtegaal,
Heel losjes.

Het hart put kracht uit eigen drang,
Nu kan het zich pas uiten.
O fris genot! Gezang, gezang
Daar buiten!

En zij verstaan ook elk procent,
Ja, alle blaad'ren luist'ren
En vallen in op 't juist moment
Met ruisen.
