Our translations: ENG
Der Schnee ist vergangen, der Winter ist weg. Hervor, ihr Blumen, hervor! Märzglöckchen und Veilchen im Dornengeheg, Masliebchen und Primeln am Wiesensteg, Hervor, ihr Blumen, hervor! Der Himmel lächelt hernieder so blau, Heraus, ihr Knospen, heraus! Die Lüfte wehen so lieblich und lau, Und drunten am Bache grünet die Au, Heraus, ihr Knospen, heraus! Der Frühling will kommen gar bald, gar bald, Heran, ihr Vögel, heran! Kommt, singet ihm, daß es schallt und hallt, Und bauet das Nest im luftigen Wald, Heran, ihr Vögel, heran! Auf! freue dich mit, du Menschenkind, Hinweg, ihr Sorgen, hinweg! Heraus aus dem Haus geschwind, geschwind, Und sing mit dem fröhlichen Merzenwind: Hinweg, ihr Sorgen, hinweg!

The snow has disappeared, winter is gone
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The snow has disappeared, winter is gone. Come forth, ye flowers, come forth! Spring snowflakes and violets in the thorny hedge, Speedwell and primulas along the meadow path, Come forth, ye flowers, come forth! The sky smiles down so bluely, Come out, ye buds, come out! The breezes blow so beautifully and warmly, And down along the brook the meadow grows green, Come out, ye blossoms, come out! Springtime wishes to come quite soon, quite soon, Come hither, ye birds, come hither! Come, sing [to spring] that it rings out and echoes, And build your nests in the airy woods, Come hither, ye birds, come hither! Arise! be happy with them, you human child, Away, ye worries, away! Out of the house quickly, quickly, And sing with the merry March wind: Away, ye worries, away!
