Frühlingslied, Op. 34, No. 3 by Felix Mendelssohn — Lyrics
Es brechen im schallenden Reigen
die Frühlingsstimmen los,
sie können's nicht länger verschweigen,
die Wonne ist gar zu groß!
Wohin, sie ahnen es selber kaum,
es rührt sie ein alter, ein süßer Traum!
Die Knospen schwellen und glühen
und drängen sich an das Licht,
und warten in sehnendem Blühen,

About Frühlingslied, Op. 34, No. 3
Mendelssohn's Frühlingslied paints a vivid picture of spring's awakening, with the 'voices of spring' breaking forth in a joyous round. The text speaks of swelling buds and the irresistible urge of life reaching for light, evoking a deep, sweet dream that stirs within the human breast. This secular German Lied, set for solo voice, captures the 'eternal youthful joy' that the season inspires. The music reflects this sense of burgeoning energy and ecstatic release, making it a delightful expression of spring's vibrant renewal.
