Juni

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

O Junitage im Sonnenschein
Im flutenden, wolkenlosen!
Buntblumige Wiesen und blühender Wein!
Und in der Gärten landaus, landein
Herzkirschen und Rosen!

Herzkirschen und Rosen, und blühend am Hang
Resedaduftende Reben!
Die Nächte so weich und die Tage so lang!
So heiter die Stirnen, so hell der Gesang!
So wonnig das Leben!

Die Geißblattlauben voll heimlichem Schall,
Voll leisem, flüsterndem Kosen.
Und jeder Lufthauch ein Düfteschwall,
Und überall Segen, und überall 
Herzkirschen und Rosen!

June

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Oh days of June in the sunshine,
In the flowing, cloudless [sunshine]!
Colourful flowering meadows and blooming vineyards,
And in the gardens all over the land
Sweet cherries and roses!
 
Sweet cherries and roses, and blooming upon the hillside
Flowering grapevines scented like mignonette!
The nights are so gentle, the days so long,
So happy the faces, so bright the singing!
So blissful is life!
 
The leafy arbours are full of secret sounds,
Full of quiet, whispering caresses,
And every breath of air is a wave of scent,
And everywhere there are blessings and everywhere,
Sweet cherries and roses!
