Schneeglöckchen klingen wieder, Schneeglöckchen bringen wieder Uns heitre Tag' und Lieder; Wie läuten sie so schön Im Thal und auf den Höhn. Der König ziehet ein! Der König ist erschienen; Ihr sollt ihm treulich dienen Mit heitrem Blick und Mienen! O laßt den König ein! Er kommt vom Sterngefilde, Und führt in seinem Schilde Die Güte [und die]1 Milde; Er trägt die Freud' und Lust Als Stern an seiner Brust, Ist gnädig Jedermann, Den Herren und den Knechten, Den Guten und den Schlechten, Den Bösen und Gerechten, Sieht Alle [lieblich]2 an. Ihr aber fragt und wißt es, Und wer's auch weiß, vergißt es, Der König Frühling ist es; Entgegen ihm mit Sang, Mit Saitenspiel und Klang! Der König ziehet ein! Der König ist erschienen. Ihr sollt ihm treulich dienen Mit heitrem Blick und Mienen! O laßt den König ein!

Campânulas brancas tocam de novo Dias felizes e canções. Como soam belas No vale e nos cumes: O rei vem a caminho, O rei apareceu. Deveis servi-lo fielmente Com caras e olhares alegres, Deixai entrar o rei. Ele vem do paraíso E só leva no seu escudo A bondade e a suavidade. Ele traz a alegria e o prazer Como estrela no seu peito, É propício a todos, Aos senhores e aos servos, Aos bons e aos maus, Aos ímpios e aos justos, A todos vê com benevolência. Mas vós perguntais e sabei-lo, E quem também o sabe, esquece-o, O rei é a Primavera. Saudai-o com cânticos, Ao som da harpa! O rei vem a caminho, O rei apareceu. Deveis servi-lo fielmente Com caras e olhares alegres, Deixai entrar o rei.
