Vöglein, nun hebet an
Language: German (Deutsch)
Vöglein, nun hebet an
Lustig im grünen Tann!
Das Veil im Grund
Kann blühn zur Stund,
Kann blühn, kann blühn zur Stund!
Vöglein, wie schön, wie schön
Schimmern und glühn die Höhn!
Wie blitzt so hell
Der Bach zur Stell,
So hell, so hell zur Stell!
Vöglein, heraus, heraus!
Weg ist das Winters Graus!
Von Herzensgrund
Singt fort all Stund!
Singt fort, singt fort all Stund!

Birdlets, now strike up
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Birdlets, now strike up
Merrily in the green pine forest!
The violet in the vale
Can bloom thenceforth,
Can bloom, can bloom thenceforth!
Birdlets, how beautifully, how beautifully
The heights shimmer and glow!
How brightly sparkles
The brook at this spot,
So brightly, so brightly at this spot!
Birdlets, come out, come out!
The horrors of winter are past!
Sing on at all hours
From the depths of your hearts!
Sing on, sing on at all hours!
