Wie schön blüht uns der Maien [English translation]

How nicely may is blooming

The summer's warm and kind

This beautiful young damsel

Again has crossed my mind

With her I'd gladly dwell

If I but think upon her

My heart of joy does swell

With her I would dwell gladly

With her I would do fine

She's like the wondrous daystar

To this old heart of mine

Her lovely lips so swell

Alas If i could kiss her

My heart would heal right well

Grant god I'd find in the garden

A twig with roses three

I'd patiently await her

With this token of love for me

The sunrise' path is made

It scatters all its roses

Adieu my pretty maid
