Du frischer, froher Morgenwind
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Du frischer, froher Morgenwind, Gut, daß ich dich schon wachend find! Komm, sei mein Reisgeselle! Es wandert sich nicht gut allein, Es jauchzt viel besser sich zu Zwein! Zu Zwein, zu Zwein, Juchhe! wie klingt's so helle! Du frischer, froher Morgenwind, Komm mit, du neckisch Frühlingskind, Durch Feld und Wald und Auen! Wie trüg' ein Mensch die Lust allein? Sie würd' ihm ja zur schweren Pein! Zu Zwein, zu Zwein, Komm, laß den Lenz uns schauen! Du frischer, froher Morgenwind, Komm mit und lad noch ein geschwind Zur Fahrt die süßen Düfte! Ei, hörst du nicht den Kuckuck schrei'n, Da müßen gleich wir stimmen ein, Zu Zwein, zu Zwein, Daß hallen alle Klüfte!

You brisk, joyful morning wind
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
You brisk, joyful morning wind, Good that I find you awake already! Come, be my travelling companion! It is not good to wander alone, One can rejoice much better as a twosome! As a twosome, as a twosome, Hurray! how brightly it resounds! You brisk, joyful morning wind, Come along, you teasing child of spring, Through field and wood and meadows! How can a person bear all the joy alone? It would surely become a heavy pain to him! As a twosome, as a twosome, Come, let us look upon springtime! You brisk, joyful morning wind, Come along and quickly invite as well The sweet scents to come on the journey! Ah, don't you hear the cuckoo call, We must immediately join in, As a twosome, as a twosome, So that all the chasms echo!
