Es brechen [im]1 schallenden Reigen Die Frühlingsstimmen los, Sie können's nicht länger verschweigen, Die Wonne ist gar zu groß! Wohin, sie ahnen es selber kaum, Es rührt sie ein alter, ein süßer Traum! Die Knospen schwellen und glühen Und drängen sich an das Licht, Und warten in sehnendem Blühen, Daß liebende Hand sie bricht. Wohin, sie ahnen es selber kaum, Es rührt sie ein alter, ein süßer Traum! Und Frühlingsgeister, sie steigen Hinab in der Menschen Brust, Und regen da drinnen den Reigen Der ew'gen Jugendlust. Wohin, wir ahnen es selber kaum, Es rührt uns ein alter, ein süßer Traum!

A les sonores danses es desfermen les veus de la primavera, no poden callar per més temps, el goig és massa gran! On, elles mateixes no ho poden albirar, un vell, un dolç somni les commou! Les poncelles s’obren i resplendeixen i s’apressen vers la llum, i esperen en una anhelant florida que una mà amorosa les culli. On, elles mateixes no ho poden albirar, un vell, un dolç somni les commou! I els esperits de la primavera davallen als pits dels homes, i desvetllen allà dins la dansa del goig etern de la joventut. On, nosaltres mateixos no ho podem albirar, un vell, un dolç somni ens commou!
