Die Erde ist erschlossen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Die Erde ist erschlossen,
die Blumen sind entsprossen,
ringsum hat sich ergossen
wonnevoller Blütenduft.
Die Täler all erklingen,
der Sturm kann nicht mehr zwingen
die Vöglein, die sich schwingen
jubelnd in die blaue Luft.
Die Kälte ist geschwunden,
der Mai ist wiederfunden
fröhlich in Maienblüten.
Winter kalt, dich hüte
vor seinem Sonnenscheine!
Lass den in Freuden leben,
der dir sich ganz ergeben,
lebet nur dir alleine,
Liebchen, süss, du Eine,
mit Treuen ich dich meine.

To Lady Love
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Earth has unlocked its bosom,
The flowers have sprung up,
All about delightful scents
Have been poured out.
The valleys all resound,
Storms can no longer coerce
The birds, who soar aloft
Rejoicing into the blue sky.
Coldness has vanished,
May has turned up again
Joyfully [clad] in mayflowers,
Cold winter, beware
Of May's sunshine!
Let him live in happiness
Who has given himself utterly to you,
Who only lives for you,
Sweet beloved, you sole one,
With faithfulness you are the one I mean.
