Frühligslied See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie herrlich leuchtet
Mir die Natur!
Wie glänzt die Sonne!
Wie lacht die Flur!
Es dringen Blühten
Aus jedem Zweig
Und tausend Stimmen
Aus dem Gesträuch,
Und Freud und Wonne
Aus jeder Brust.
O Erd', o Sonne!
O Glück, o Lust!
O Lieb', o Liebe!
So golden schön,
Wie Morgenwolken
Auf jenen Höhn!
Du segnest herrlich
Das frische Feld,
Im Blütendampfe
Die volle Welt.

Canción de mayo See original
Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)
Qué soberbia luce
para mí natura!
Cómo brilla el sol!
Cómo ríe el campo!
Brotan flores
de cada rama
y mil cantos
de los arbustos,
y alegría y delicia
de cada pecho.
Oh, tierra, oh, sol!
Oh, felicidad, oh goce!
Oh, amor, oh, amor!
De oro tan bonito
como las nubes de la mañana
en aquellos montes!
Bendices majestuosamente
los campos frescos,
con el vapor de las flores
el mundo entero.
