Vergessen sei des Winters Gram,
Vergessen alles Weh;
Ich denk' nur eins: die Wonne kam,
Dass ich mein Liebchen seh'!
Nun tritt heraus in Maienpracht
Und atme Leben ein;
Sieh' nur wie klar der Frühling lacht
Zutiefst ins Herz hinein.

The sorrows of winter should be forgotten,
Forgotten all pain;
I only think of one thing: the joy
Of seeing my beloved came to me!
Now step out into the splendour of May
And breathe in life itself;
Only see how limpidly spring laughs
Into the very depths of our hearts.
