Im Grünen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG

Im Grün erwacht der frische Mut,
wenn blau der Himmel blickt.
Im Grünen da geht alles gut,
was je das Herz bedrückt.

Was suchst' der Mauern engen Raum,
du thöricht Menschenkind?
Komm, fühl hier unter'm Grünen Baum,
wie süss die Lüfte sind.

Wie holde Kindlein spielt um dich
ihr Odem wunderlieb,
und nimmt all' deinen Gram mit sich,
du weisst nicht wo er blieb.

In ‘t groen

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

In ‘t groen ontwaakt de frisse moed,
Wanneer de hemel blauwt.
In ‘t groen, ja, daar komt alles goed
Wat ooit het hart benauwt.
 
Wat zoek je engte, muur en toom,
Jij, dom dwaas mensenkind?
Kom, voel hier [onder de]¹ groene boom,
Hoe zoet ons streelt de wind.
 
Als ‘n lief klein kindje speelt om jou
Zijn adem, zo sereen,
En neemt mee je verdriet heel gauw,
Al weet je niet waarheen.
