Der Frühling
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE
Wenn auf Gefilden neues Entzücken keimt
Und sich die Ansicht wieder verschönt und sich
An Bergen, wo die Bäume grünen,
Hellere Lüfte, Gewölke zeigen,
O! welche Freude haben die Menschen! froh
Gehn an Gestaden Einsame, Ruh' und Lust
Und Wonne der Gesundheit blühet,
Freundliches Lachen ist auch nicht ferne.

Spring
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
When on fields new delight sprouts forth,
and the appearance becomes more beautiful again,
and over mountains where trees become green,
brighter breezes and clouds appear,
oh, what joy human beings have!
Lonely ones walk happily on shores. Calm and
joy and the delight of health blossom;
joyful laughter is also not far away.
