Le printemps chasse les hivers, Et sourit dans les arbres verts; Sous la feuille nouvelle Passent des bruits d'aile! Viens, suivons les sentiers ombreux, Où s'égarent les amoureux; Le printemps nous appelle, Viens, soyons heureux. Vois le soleil étincelle Et sa clarté qui ruiselle Me semble encor plus belle Dans tes beaux yeux! Viens, suivons les sentiers ombreux, Où s'égarent les amoureux; Le printemps nous appelle, Viens, soyons heureux. Que ta voix chante et se mêle A l'harmonie éternelle; Je crois entendre en elle Chanter les cieux. Viens, suivons les sentiers ombreux, Où s'égarent les amoureux; Le printemps nous appelle, Viens, soyons heureux.

Sieh', schon fliehet des Winters Nacht, In dem Hain ist der Lenz erwacht, In dem sprossenden Laube Nistet die Turteltaube. Liebchen, komm mit in's duft'ge Grün, Wo die heimlichen Veilchen blüh'n, Wo in lieblicher Lenzesnacht Wonne der Liebe lacht. Sieh', wie das silberne Mondenlicht Still mit den flüsternden Blättern spricht, Mit Paradieses Glanz umflicht Dein Angesicht. Liebchen komm mit in's duft'ge Grün, Wo die heimlichen Veilchen blüh'n, Wo in lieblicher Lenzesnacht Wonne der Liebe lacht. Sing' mir die traulichen Lieder, Echo giebt leise sie wieder, Und wie vom Himmel nieder Tönt Sphärenklang. Liebchen komm mit in's duft'ge Grün, Wo die heimlichen Veilchen blüh'n, Wo in lieblicher Lenzesnacht Wonne der Liebe lacht.
