Frühlingslied

(Sung text for setting by J. Anthes)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG

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

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

Willkommen im Grünen!
Aus knorrigem Spalt 
Der Eichen erschallt 
Das Sumsen der Bienen;
Flink tragen sie heim
Den würzigen Seim
  Im Grünen!

Willkommen im Grünen! 
Es blöcket im Thal 
Das Lämmchen, vom Stral sic 
Der Sonne beschienen;
Das fleckige Reh 
Durchhüpfet den Klee
  Im Grünen!

Wees welkom in ’t groen hier!

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Anthes)

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!

Wees welkom in ’t groen hier!
Uit knoestig gespleten eiken
Klinkt zacht het zoemen der bijen.
Elk draagt met zich mee
Wel honing voor twee
In ’t groen hier!
