Winter vorbei, Herzchen, mein Liebchen! Lenz ist gekommen! Vögelein singen, Herzchen, mein Liebchen! Blühen die Röslein, Liebet sich alles, Herzchen, mein Liebchen! Will Zeit nicht verlieren, Aber du, Goldchen! Herzchen, mein Liebchen! Liebchen, nicht küssen, Ist Zeit verlieren, Herzchen, mein Liebchen! Küß' mich geschwinde!

Winter is over, Little heart, my little love! Spring has come! Birds sing, Little heart, my little love! The roses are in bloom, All things love one another, Little heart, my little love! I do not wish to waste time, But you, my little golden one, Little heart, my little love! Darling, not to be kissing Constitutes wasting time, Little heart, my little love! Kiss me quickly!
