Nun bricht aus allen Zweigen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
[Nun]1 [bricht]2 aus [allen]3 Zweigen Das [maienfrische Grün]4, Die ersten Lerchen steigen, Die [ersten]5 Veilchen blüh'n; Und golden liegen Tal und Höh'n -- O Welt, du bist so wunderschön Im Maien! Und [wie]6 die Knospen springen, Da regt sich's allzumal; Die [muntren]7 Vögel singen, Die Quelle rauscht [in's]8 Tal; Und freudig [schallt]9 das Lustgetön: O Welt, du bist so wunderschön Im Maien! [Wie sich die Bäume]10 wiegen Im lieben Sonnenschein! Wie hoch die Vögel fliegen, Ich möchte hinterdrein; Möcht' jubeln über Tal und Höh'n: O Welt, du bist so wunderschön, Im Maien!

Now from all branches bursts forth
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
[Now from all branches bursts forth]1 The [greenery in its May freshness]2, The first larks rise, The [first]3 violets bloom; And valley and heights lie golden -- Oh world, you are so wondrously beautiful, In May! And as the buds burst open, There is a general stirring; The merry birds sing, The water-spring rushes [into]4 the valley; And the joyful noise rings out: Oh world, you are so wondrously beautiful, In May! How the trees sway In the dear sunshine! How high the birds fly, I would like to follow them; I would like to rejoice above valley and heights: Oh world, you are so wondrously beautiful, In May!
