Frühlingsbotschaft See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Kuckuck, Kuckuck ruft aus dem Wald: Lasset uns singen, Lasset uns springen! Frühling, Frühling wird es nun bald. Kuckuck, Kuckuck läßt nicht sein Schrei'n: Komm in die Felder, Wiesen und Wälder! Frühling, Frühling, stelle dich ein! Kuckuck, Kuckuck, trefflicher Held! Was du gesungen, Ist dir gelungen: Winter, Winter räumet das Feld.
Note: the word "Kuckuck" is sometimes spelled "Kuckuk" (or "Kuk-kuk" in scores, since "ck" becomes "kk" when the syllables are separated).
