Komm, holder Lenz!

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE ITA

Chor des Landvolks
 Komm, holder Lenz! Des Himmels Gabe, komm!
 Aus ihrem Todesschlaf erwecke die Natur.

Weiber und Mädchen
 Er nahet sich, der holde Lenz.
 Schon fühlen wir den linden Hauch,
 bald lebet alles wieder auf.

Männer
 Frohlocket ja nicht allzufrüh!
 Oft schleicht, in Nebel eingehüllt,
 der Winter wohl zurück und streu't
 auf Blüt' und Keim sein starres Gift.

Alle
 Komm, holder Lenz! Des Himmels Gabe, komm!
 Auf uns're Fluren senke dich!
 Komm, holder Lenz, o komm
 und weile länger nicht!

Viens, joli printemps !

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Chœur des campagnards
 Viens, joli printemps ! Don du ciel, viens !
 De son sommeil mortel réveille la nature !

Les femmes et les jeunes filles
 Il s'approche, le joli printemps ;
 Déjà nous sentons le souffle tiède,
 Bientôt tout revivra.

Les hommes
 Ne vous réjouissez pas trop tôt !
 Souvent, enveloppé de brouillard, il se glisse,
 L'hiver à nouveau et il répand
 Sur les fleurs et les germes son poison qui engourdit.

Tous
 Viens, joli printemps ! Don du ciel, viens !
 Sur nos champs descends !
 Viens, joli printemps, viens
 Et ne t'attarde pas plus longtemps !
