Die Bäume grünen überall
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Die Bäume [grünen]1 überall,
Die Blumen blühen wieder,
Und wieder singt die Nachtigall
Nun ihre alten Lieder.
[O glücklich, wer noch singt und lacht,
Dass auch der Frühling sein gedacht!]2

Froh wollt' ich sein in Wald und Feld
Und mit den Vögeln singen,
Und wie die ganze Frühlingswelt
Nach Lust und Freude ringen.
Was soll mir Blüt' und Nachtigall?
Du fehlst mir, fehlst mir überall.

O liebes Herz, und soll ich dich
Nun nimmer wiedersehen,
So mag der Frühling auch für mich
Mit Blüt' und Sang vergehen.
[Was soll der Frühling doch für mich,
Was ist ein Frühling ohne dich!]3

Partout les arbres verdissent
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Partout les arbres verdissent,
Les fleurs recommencent à s'épanouir
Et le rossignol à chanter
Ses vieilles chansons.
[Ô bienheureux est celui qui chante et rit encore
Car le printemps a aussi pensé à lui !]2

Je voudrais être joyeux dans la forêt et les champs,
Et chanter avec les oiseaux,
Et comme le monde entier au printemps
Aspirer au plaisir et à la joie.
Que sont pour moi fleurs et rossignol ?
Tu me manques, tu me manques partout.

Et si je devais, ô cœur chéri,
Maintenant ne plus jamais te revoir,
Alors pour moi aussi le printemps
Pourrait disparaître avec fleurs et chansons.
[Qu'est donc pour moi le printemps,
Qu'est-ce qu'un printemps sans toi !]3
