Original text and translations

English text

O the glorious spring is coming,
Songs of birds and balmy air;
Floating down the purple hillsides,
Bringing gladness every where.

Let me catch the warbling measure,
Let me learn the wild bird’s lay;
Then to me how sweet the pleasure,
Singing all the golden day.

Hark! the music in the meadows,
Hark! the chorus from the hills,
See the waving lights and shadows,
How my heart with rapture thrills.

Now new voices tribute bringing,
Swell the song of gladness higher,
While the lake floats back the singing
Of another answering choir.

O the glorious spring is coming,
Songs of birds and balmy air;
Don’t you hear it on the hillsides?
Don’t you hear it everywhere?
