Es steigen die Glöckchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Es steigen die Glöckchen Aus schmelzendem Eis Und schütteln die Röckchen, Halb grün und halb weiss. Es knarren die Eichen, Befreit rauscht der Bach, Die Kälte will weichen, Der Frühling wird wach! Die Mutter Sibylle Tut's Schiebfenster auf Und schaut durch die Brille Zum Giebel hinauf. Zwei Kätzelein schleichen Verliebt über's Dach, Die Kälte will weichen, Der Frühling wird wach! Was kommt dort getänzelt, Trägt Söckel am Schuh? Es trippelt und schwänzelt Und kichert mir zu. Verheissendes Zeichen, Beherzt folg' ich nach, Die Kälte will weichen, Der Frühling wird wach!

The dear snowdrops
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The dear snowdrops Arise from the melting ice And shake their little skirts, Half green and half white. The oaks are creaking, Freed, the brook flows, Coldness wishes to depart, Spring awakes! Mother Sibyl Opens the sliding window And, through her glasses, She gazes up toward the gable. Two little cats who are in love Creep over the roof, Coldness wishes to depart, Spring awakes! Who comes dancing along there Wearing decorations on her shoes? There is a tripping and a wagging And a giggling at me. A prophetic sign, Heartened I follow, Coldness wishes to depart, Spring awakes!
