Tenor-Solo: Johannis war gekommen, Der Erde Hochzeitstag, Wo sie als Braut am Herzen Des lieben Frühlings lag. Die stille Nacht umschleiert Den Schlummer der Natur. Das blasse Licht des Mondes Durchwandelt Hain und Flur. Die kleinen Blättchen schwirren Kaum hörbar in dem Baum, Um Schilf und Wasserblumen Schwebt Schlaf und Abendtraum. Alt-Solo: Was ist auf jener Wiese Für zauberischer Sang, Und unterm Frühlingsgrase Für wunderlicher Klang?

Tenor solo: Ha arribat el dia de Sant Joan, el dia de noces de la terra, quan ella com una núvia, resta al cor de l’estimada primavera. La nit silenciosa cobreix amb un vel el somni de la natura. La pàl•lida llum de la lluna vagareja per boscos i camps. Les petites fulles remoregen a penes audibles a l’arbre, i a l’entorn del canyís i dels nenúfars, sura el repòs i els somnis del capvespre. Contralt solo: Què és allò que a aquella prada canta tan encisador i dessota l’herba de primavera ressona meravellosament?
