Nun fangen die Weiden zu blühen an
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Nun fangen die Weiden zu blühen an, Jauchze, mein Herz! Schon zwitschert ein Vögelein dann und wann, Jauchze, mein Herz! Und ist's auch der holde Frühling noch nicht Mit dem schönen Grün und den Blüthen licht, Wer weiß, über Nacht Kommt er mit Macht, Und bald mit all seiner Lust und Pracht, Jauchze nur, jauchze, jauchze mein Herz! Weiß rauschen die Bächlein hinab in's Thal, Jauchze, mein Herz! Viel muthiger lacht schon der Sonne Strahl, Jauchze, mein Herz! Und liegt auch noch in den Furchen der Schnee, Und thäte der Reif dem Frühling noch weh, Wer weiß, über Nacht Kommt er mit Macht, Und bald mit all seiner Lust und Pracht, Jauchze, nur jauchze, jauchze mein Herz! Fürwahr, schon spürt' ich ein Lüftchen lau, Jauchze, mein Herz! Am Borde gar nicket ein Blümchen schlau, Jauchze, mein Herz! Und schwimmt auch noch auf den Seeen das Eis, Und wartet der Frühling noch kluger Weis, Wer weiß, über Nacht Kommt er mit Macht, Und bald mit all seiner Lust und Pracht, Jauchze nur, jauchze, jauchze mein Herz!

Now the willows are beginning to bloom
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Now the willows are beginning to bloom, Rejoice, my heart! A birdlet is already twittering now and then, Rejoice, my heart! And though it not be the lovely springtime yet With its beautiful green and its blossoms bright, Who knows, overnight It may appear with might, And soon with all its joy and glory, Only rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, my heart! White-flecked, the brooklets are rushing down into the valley, Rejoice, my heart! The sun’s beams are smiling much more bravely already, Rejoice, my heart! And though in the furrows snow may yet lie, And though frost might still injure the springtime, Who knows, overnight It may appear with might, And soon with all its joy and glory, Only rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, my heart! Truly, already I felt a balmy breeze, Rejoice, my heart! On the bank a floweret nods cleverly, Rejoice, my heart! And although ice be still floating upon the lakes, And springtime wisely yet waits [to appear], Who knows, overnight It may appear with might, And soon with all its joy and glory, Only rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, my heart!
