Song for two voices and piano by Robert Schumann

lyrics

Und wenn die Primel schneeweiss blickt [English translation below]
am Bach aus dem Wiesengrund,
wenn am Baum die Kirschbluet nickt
und die Voeglein pfeifen im Wald allstund:
da flickt der Fischer das Netz in Ruh,
denn der See liegt heiter im Sonnenglanz;
da sucht das Maedel die Schuh und schnuert das Mieder sich eng zum Tanz,
und denket still, ob der Liebste nicht kommen will.
Es klingt die Fiedel, es brummt der Bass
der Dorfschulz sitzet im Schank beim Wein,
die Taenzer drehn sich ohne Unterlass im Abendschein.
Und geht`s nach Haus um Mitternacht,
Glueh-Wuermchen traegt das Laternchen vor;
da kuesst er sein Dirndel sacht
und sagt ihr leis ein Woertchen ins Ohr,
und sie denken beid`: o du selige froehliche Maienzeit!

[English translation]
And when the snow-white primrose
peeps out on the meadow near the stream
when the cherry blossom nods on the tree
and the birds sing all day in the wood
then the fisherman peacefully patches his net
and the lake glistens cheerful in the sun
then the young girl seeks out her shoes
and ties her bodice tight for the dance
and wonders quietly whether her beloved will come
the fiddle plays and the bass booms
the village mayor sits drinking his wine at the bar
the dancers go round and round for ever
in the evening glow
and then all go home at midnight
with the glow worm`s lantern leading the way
and the young man kisses his girl and
whispers in her ear
They both think
May is such a wonderful time
