Schön ist das Fest des Lenzes,
Doch währt es nur der Tage drei.
Hast du ein Lieb', so kränz'  es
Mit Rosen, eh' sie geh'n vorbei!

Schön ist das Fest des Lenzes,
Doch währt es nur der Tage drei.

Bella és la festa de primavera

(Sung text translation for setting by M. Hauptmann)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Bella és la festa de primavera,
però només dura tres dies.
Si tens una estimada, corona-la
de roses, abans que es marceixin!

Si tens una copa, omple-la,
oh taverner, i canta al mateix temps:
bella és la festa de primavera,
però només dura tres dies.
