by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Der Frühling schien schon an dem Tor
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Der Frühling schien schon an dem Tor
Mich freundlich zu erwarten.
Die ganze Gegend steht im Flor
Als wie ein Blumengarten.

Die Liebste sitzt an meiner Seit
Im rasch hinrollenden Wagen;
Sie schaut mich an voll Zärtlichkeit,
Ihr Herz, das fühl ich schlagen.

Das trillert und duftet so sonnenvergnügt!
Das blinkt im grünen Geschmeide!
Sein weißes Blütenköpfchen wiegt
Der junge Baum mit Freude.

Die Blumen schaun aus der Erd hervor,
Betrachten, neugierigen Blickes,
Das schöne Weib, das ich erkor,
Und mich, den Mann des Glückes.

Vergängliches Glück! Schon morgen klirrt
Die Sichel über den Saaten,
Der holde Frühling verwelken wird,
Das Weib wird mich verraten.
