Übern Garten durch die Lüfte
Hört' ich Wandervögel ziehn,
Das bedeutet Frühlingsdüfte,
Unten fängt's schon an zu blühn.

Jauchzen möcht' ich, möchte weinen,
Ist mir's doch, als könnt's nicht sein!
Alte Wunder wieder scheinen
Mit dem Mondenglanz herein.

Und der Mond, die Sterne sagen's,
Und im Traume rauscht's der Hain,
Und die Nachtigallen schlagen's:
Sie ist deine, sie ist dein!

Note: the Dover score for Schumann's song has "Alle" instead of "Alte" in stanza 2, line 3, word 1.

Composition:

    Set to music by Adolf Jensen (1837 - 1879), "Frühlingsnacht", op. 1 no. 6 (1856), published 1858 [ voice and piano ], Breslau, Leuckart

Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Sopra il giardino, per l'aria,
sentii passare gli uccelli migratori,
vuol dire profumi di primavera,
quaggiù tutto comincia a fiorire.

Vorrei esultare, vorrei piangere,
no, non è possibile!
Antichi prodigi splendono ancora
al chiarore della luna.

E la luna, le stelle lo dicono,
e nel sogno mormora il boschetto,
e gli usignoli lo cantano:
lei è tua, sì, lei è tua!
