Frühlingslied

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

  Der Frühling kehret wieder,
Und schmücket Berg und Tal;
Schon tönen rings die Lieder
Der süßen Nachtigall.

  Wie steiget hoch die Sonne
In's Himmelblau hinauf,
Verbreitet Lust und Wonne
Auf ihrem weiten Lauf!

  Es eilen Schaf' und Rinder
Der grünen Wiese zu;
Es blickt auf's Spiel der Kinder
Der Greis aus seiner Ruh.

Chant de printemps

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Le printemps est revenu,
Et orne colline et vallée ;
Déjà tout autour retentissent les chants
Du doux rossignol.

Comme le soleil monte haut
Dans le ciel bleu,
Répandant plaisir et joie
Sur son long voyage.

Les moutons et les bœufs se pressent
Vers la verte prairie ;
Vers les jeux des enfants il tourne ses yeux,
Le vieillard, pendant son repos.
