Mit Sturmwind und Regen Verschied der April; Die Stürme sich legen, Die Winde sind still. Ein farbiger Bogen Am Himmel erglüht; Der Mai kam gezogen, Der Hollerbusch blüht. Im Strauch an der Quelle Frau Nachtigall singt; Ein brauner Geselle Sein Mädel umschlingt. Ihr Blut geht in Wogen, Sie küssen sich müd. Der Mai kam gezogen, Der Hollerbusch blüht. Der Nordwind die Blätter Der Waldbäume jagt, Im stürmischen Wetter Sitzt eine und klagt: Verrathen, betrogen! Das uralte Lied -- -- -- Der Mai ist entflogen, Der Holler verblüht.

With storm-winds and rain April departed; The storms die down, The winds are quiet. A colourful arc Glows in the sky; May has arrived, The hawthorn bush blooms. In the bush by the water-spring Madame Nightingale is singing; A tanned lad Embraces his maiden. Their blood surges in waves, They kiss until they are weary. May has arrived, The hawthorn bush blooms. The northwind chases The leaves of the forest's trees, In the stormy weather There is one who sits and laments: Betrayed, deceived! The ancient song -- -- -- May has flown away, The blooming of the hawthorn has ended.
