by Johann Jakob Sprüngli (1801 - 1889)

Sängerfrühling
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Frühlingspracht, Frühlingspracht!
Wie ein Wunder neu erwacht,
Weckst im Menschen neue Lust, 
Neue Lieder in der Brust;
Gieße deinen Frieden aus
Über unser Sängerhaus!
Komm mit deiner Zaubermacht,
Frühlingspracht, Frühlingspracht!

Männersang, Männersang! 
Neu erwacht mit frischem Klang,
Machst es wonnig in der Brust,
Weckst in Allen Frühlingslust;
Alles Schöne muß erblüh'n,
Muß in tausend Farben glüh'n.
Lebe hoch und lebe lang,
Männersang, Männersang! 

Freundestreu! Freundestreu!
Heit'rer Frühling neu und neu!
Ewig und unwandelbar
Bringst du Blüth' an Blüthe dar,
Weckst die reinsten Harmonie'n,
Die das Herz zum Herzen zieh'n.
Unser Trost und Hoffen sei: 
Freundestreu! Freundestreu!
