Nun fährt der Frühling durch das Land
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Nun fährt der Frühling durch das Land,
Und Niemand hat kein Sorgen.
Und, wer heut noch kein Liebchen fand,
Der find't und küßt es morgen.

  Der Vogel hat kein Sorgen nicht,
Nichts kümmert nicht die Rose;
Die Mücke tanzt im Sonnenlicht,
Der Käfer springt im Moose.

  Und Wolken ziehen überall,
Die guten Müßiggänger,
In jedem Thal ein Wasserfall,
In jedem Wald ein Sänger.

  Halt an, o Lenz!  Dein Segen träuft
Vergeudet sonst auf Blinde.
Die schöne Sonne müd' sich läuft,
Ihr Goldhaar fliegt im Winde.

  Nein, holder Lenz, halt' nimmer an!
Wer da zurücke bliebe!
Die Welt fährt ohne Steuermann
Durch's Weltmeer jetzt der Liebe.
