by Robert Reinick (1805 - 1852)
Translation Singable translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Ging unter dichten Zweigen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ging unter [dichten]1 [Zweigen]2
Am Morgen im grünen Wald,
Der Vöglein [lust'ger]3 Reigen
[Von]4 allen Wipfeln schallt'.

Und riefen viel einander:
"Heraus, wo Vöglein sind,
Zu singen mit einander
In [den]5 kühlen Morgenwind!"

Da hat's auch mir geklungen
Tief [in die Brust]6 hinein,
Da hat sich's drin geschwungen,
Als wär's ein Vögelein.

Und ist ein Vöglein drinnen,
So flieg' es frei heraus,
Und ist ein Lied darinnen,
So zieh' es fröhlich aus!

Song of the May
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
I roam'd amid the forest,
One morning in early spring,
The birds were chaunting [sic] their song in
The branches of the trees.

They seem'd to call to each other:
"Come forth, ye mortals sad,
And sing with us a merry lay
While soft the Zephyr blows."

Then rose the thought within me,
The secret lyre awoke,
And sung to me as sings
At eve the lonely nightingale.

The birds they sing because they must,
And he, the sacred bard, is like the feath'ry choir,
For sing he must and sing he will,
Though all the world conspire.

From the Reinecke score.
