Der Blumen Glöckchen klingen
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Der Blumen Glöckchen]1 klingen,
Und nicken hold sich zu,
Und muntre Vögel singen:
Wie schön bist Frühling du!
Es grüßt die junge Erde
Des Lichtes erster Strahl,
Da zieht mit ihrer Heerde
Die Hirtin in das Thal.
Wie Brautgesang erschallet
Ihr süßes Morgenlied;
Wie's durch die Wälder wallet,
Und durch die Felsen flieht.
Da tönt aus blauer Ferne
Des Senners Alphorn hin,
Zu Thal zög' er so gerne,
Im Thale weilt sein Sinn.

In the valley
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The little [bells of the flowers]1 are sounding,
And they nod to each other gracefully,
And merry birds are singing:
How lovely you are, springtime!
The young earth is greeted
By the first beam of light,
There the shepherdess makes her way
To the valley with her flock.
Like the singing of a bride
Her sweet morning-song rings out:
How it wanders through the forests
And flies through the rocks.
From the blue distance there sounds
The alphorn of the cowherd,
He would so dearly love to come to the valley,
His spirit tarries in the valley.
