Přilítlo jaro z daleka a všude plno touhy, vše tlačilo se k slunci ven, že snilo sen tak dlouhý. Vylítly z hnízda pěnkavy a drobné děti z chýše, a pestré kvítí na lukách přesladkou vůni dýše. Z větví se lístek tlačí ven, a ptáčkům z hrdla hlásky, a v ňadrech v srdci mlaďounkém tam klíčí poupě lásky.

Springtime is waited from afar, With longing all is teeming; And all is pressing to the sun, That long has been a-dreaming. From out its nest the finch, and from The hut the children speed; The many-coloured blossoms waft Sweet fragrance on the mead. The leaf is bursting from the twig, The birds are gaily singing; And from the youthful breast and heart The buds of love are springing.
