Herzlich tut mich erfreuen Die fröhliche Sommerzeit; All mein Geblüt er neuen, Der Mai in Wöllust freut; Die Lerch' tut sich erschwingen Mit ihrem hellen Schall Lieblich die Vögel singen, Dazu die Nachtigall. Der Kukuk mit seinem Schreien, Macht fröhlich jedermann; Des Abends fröhlich reihen Die Mädlein Wohlgetan, Spazieren zu den Brunnen, Bekränzen sie zur Zeit, Alle Welt sich freut in Wonnen Mit Reisen fern und weit. Es grünet in dem Walde, Die Blumen blühen frei, Die Röslein auf dem Felde, Von Farben mancherlei; Ein Blümchen steht im Garten, Das heißt Vergiß nicht mein, Das edle Kraut zu warten Macht guten Augenschein.

Heartily, I enjoy the festive summer time; All my blood is renewed, May rejoices in pleasure; The lark allows itself a bright sound, the birds sing sweetly, and the nightingale too. The cuckoo’s cry makes everyone happy; In the evening the girls line up happily, strolling to the fountain, Crown them now with wreathes, while all the world rejoices in the delights of traveling far and wide It is growing green in the forest, the flowers are blooming freely, The roses in the field are of many colors; A small flower is in the garden, called forget me not, attending to the precious herb that makes the eyes shine.
