Der Schnee ist zergangen

Our translations: ENG
Der Schnee ist zergangen, Der Winter ist fort, ist fort, Nun Liebchen, nun laß dein Bangen, Ich halte mein Wort. Der Lenz fliegt geschwinde, Ist da wie zur Nacht ein Dieb, Doch schneller als Frühlingswinde Fliegt Liebe zum Lieb. Und eh' noch der Morgen Die Veilchen, die ersten gegrüßt. Sind all deine bangen Sorgen Hinweg schon geküßt.

The snow is all melted
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The snow is all melted, The winter’s asleep, asleep, My darling, thy cares now banish, My promise I’ll keep. The Spring travels swiftly, Flies quick as the carrier dove, Than breezes, or bird, more deftly Flies Lover to meet his love. Before the first violet Receives the glad greeting of day, Will all thy deep fears and sorrows Already be kissed away.
From the Franz score.
