Im Grünen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG
Im Grün erwacht der frische Mut,
wenn blau der Himmel blickt.
Im Grünen da geht alles gut,
was je das Herz bedrückt.
Was suchst' der Mauern engen Raum,
du thöricht Menschenkind?
Komm, fühl hier unter'm Grünen Baum,
wie süss die Lüfte sind.
Wie holde Kindlein spielt um dich
ihr Odem wunderlieb,
und nimmt all' deinen Gram mit sich,
du weisst nicht wo er blieb.

In nature
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
In nature (In green) a fresh courage awakens,
When the blue of the sky is revealed.
In nature, everything turns to the good
That has oppressed one's heart.
Why do you seek the walls of an enclosed room,
You foolish child of Mankind?
Come feel, here under the blooming tree,
How sweet the breezes are.
Like a sweet young child, around you
Play their wondrous exhalations of love,
And take away all of your suffering,
You know not what has become of it.
