Berg und Thal will ich durchstreifen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Berg und Thal will ich durchstreifen 
  In der Frühlingstage Pracht,
Wo auf Wiesen und in Wäldern
  Die verjüngte Schöpfung lacht.

In das Wonnemeer der Düfte,
  Das aus allen Blüthen quillt,
Will ich ganz mich untertauchen 
  Bis der Seele Durst gestillt.

Bis ich selber untergehe 
  In der Blüthen Balsamduft,
Und aus dir verjüngt erstehe
  Du geliebte Frühlingsluft.

Berg en dal wil ik doorkruisen

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

Berg en dal wil ik doorkruisen
In de lentetijd vol pracht,
Als op weiden en in wouden
De verjongde schepping lacht.
 
In de zaal'ge zee der geuren,
Die uit alle bloesems trilt,
Wil 'k geheel mij onderdomp'len
Tot mijn hunk'ring is gestild.
 
Tot ik zelf in balsemgeuren
Van de bloei mijn einde vind
En uit jou verjongd weer opsta,
Mijn geliefde lentewind.
