Available translation(s): ENG
Ihr lieben Vöglein, singt nur fort, So lang's vermag die kleine Brust! Singt von des Frühlings Herrlichkeit, Singt von des Frühlings Lieb' und Lust! Und sänget ihr auch ewig fort, Viel tausend Jahre Tag und Nacht, Ihr könntet singen nie genug! -- So schön hat Gott die Welt gemacht!
