Erster Blütenbaum
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Schau!
Ein Blütenbäumchen in grünender Au!
Ringsum die Bäume allzumal
Sind ohne Blätter, sind steif und kahl.
Woher nahm dies eine sein Blütenkleid?
Hat ein Engelsgefieder es überschneit?
Ist meine (mein) Liebste(r) hier gegangen
Mit hellem Blick und roten Wangen
Und hat das Bäumchen aufgeweckt
Mit lust'gem Sang es wachgeschreckt,
Dass es blütenübersät
Sein Köpfchen nach der Sonne dreht?
Schau!
Ein Blütenbäumchen in grünender Au!

First blossoming tree
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Look!
A blossoming tree in a verdant meadow!
All the trees roundabout
Are without leaves, are stiff and bare.
From where did this one take its garb of blossoms?
Did the plumage of an angel snow down upon it?
Did my beloved walk here
With bright eyes and red cheeks
And awaken the little tree,
With merry singing startle it awake,
So that, bestrewn with blossoms,
It turns its little head toward the sun?
Look!
A blossoming tree in a verdant meadow!
