Lyrics & English Translation
Wintry storms have vanished
before Maytime;
in a gentle light
springtime shines out.
On balmy breezes
light and lovely
it weaves
miracles as it wafts.
Through woods and meadows
its breath blows,
wide open
its eyes are smiling.
Lovely birdsong
sweetly proclaims it.
Blissful scents
exhale its presence.
Marvellous flowers
sprout from its hot blood,
buds and shoots
grow from its strenght.
With an armoury of delicate charm
it conquers the world.
Winter and storms vanish
before their stout defence.
At these bold blows, of course,
the stout doors yelded too,
for stubborn and hard
they kept us from the spring.
To its sister here
it flew.
Love decoyed the spring.
In our hearts
it was hidden deep;
now it smiles joyfully at the light.
The sister as bride
is freed by her brother.
In ruins lies
all that kept them apart.
Joyfully the young couple
greet one another.
Love and Spring are united.
