Herr Lenz springt heute durch die Stadt
In einer blauen Hose.
Und wer zwei junge Beine hat,
Springt säftefroh, springt sonnensatt
Und kauft sich bei ihm Lose.

Dort biegt er um das Giebelhaus,
Die Taschen voller Gaben,
Da strecken sich die Hände aus,
Ein jeder möchte einen Strauß,
Hei! für sein Mädel haben.

Ich hole mir auch einen Schatz
Hinweg von Glas und Schüssel.
Hut auf! Wir rennen übern Platz:
Herr Lenz, für ihren Busenlatz
Ein'n gelben Himmelsschlüssel!

Richard Georg Strauss

Heer Lente

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Strauss)

See original

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

Vandaag springt Lente door de stad
 blauwe broek, een grote.
En wie twee jonge benen heeft
Springt opgewekt, springt dol als wat
En koopt nu bij hem loten.

Daar komt hij vrolijk aangezet,
Zijn zakken vol geschenken,
Daar strekken zich de handen uit,
Eenieder wil met een boeket
- Hé! - graag zijn .

Ik zelf haal ook een aardig kind
Van huis om mee te spelen.
Hoed op! Wij rennen over ’t plein!
Meneer, mijn schat wil graag als lint
Wel een sleutelbloem, een gele!
