Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
So sei gegrüßt vieltausendmal,
Holder Frühling!
Willkommen [hier]1 in unserm Tal, 
Holder Frühling!
Holder Frühling, überall! 
Grüßen wir dich froh mit Sang und Schall,
Mit Sang und Schall.

Du kommst, und froh ist alle Welt, 
Holder Frühling!
Es freut sich Wiese, Wald und Feld,
Holder Frühling!
Jubel tönt dir überall,
Dich begrüßet Lerch' und Nachtigall,
Und Nachtigall.

So sei gegrüßt viel tausendmal,
Holder Frühling!
O bleib recht lang in unserm Tal,
Holder Frühling!
Kehr in alle Herzen ein,
Laß doch alle mit uns fröhlich sein,
Ja fröhlich sein!
