Frühlingsblumen / Flowers of Spring / Flores de primavera
Tage sind länger
Und Frühlingsblumen blühen
In den Vorgärten
An einer Linde am Fluss
Klopft nur ein Specht seinen Takt
Days are longer
And spring flowers are blooming
In the front gardens
A linden tree by the river
Only a woodpecker beats his beat
Días son más largos
Flores de primavera florescen
En los jardines
Un árbol de tilo al río
Sólo un pájaro carpintero golpea a su ritmo
Im tiefen Flug
Herrlich leuchtendes Gefieder
Ein junger Grünspecht
Im hohen alten Lindenbaum
Am günen Ufer der Mandau
------------------------------------------
In its deep flight
With splendid bright plumage
A young Green Woodpecker
At a tall old linden tree
Near the green banks of the Mandau
------------------------------------------
En su vuelo rasante
Con maravilloso brillante plumaje
Un joven carpintero verde
En un tilo viejo y alto
Cerca de orillas verdes del Mandau
