Goldner Frühlingssonnenschein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Goldner Frühlingssonnenschein
Weckt die Lust der Lieder, 
Und es klingt durch Feld und Hain 
Fröhlich auf und nieder. 

Jubelnd tönt der Vöglein Lied, 
Bienen summen leise, 
Lustig pfeift der Wind durchs Ried 
Seine frische Weise. 

Selbst das kleinste Sängerlein, 
Dort das winz'ge Mücklein,
Tanzend summt's im Sonnenschein 
Sich ein lustig Stücklein.

Doch kein Lied hat glückbewußt
Sich so hoch geschwungen 
Als ein Lied aus Menschenbrust, 
Gott zu Lob gesungen.
