Frühlingsruhe

[O legt mich nicht ins dunkle Grab]1,
Nicht unter die grüne Erde hinab!
Soll ich begraben sein,
Lieg ich ins tiefe Gras hinein.

In Gras und Blumen [liegt]2 ich gern,
Wenn eine Flöte tönt von fern
Und wenn hoch obenhin
Die hellen Frühlingswolken ziehn.

by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787-1862) , "Frühlingsruhe", from Lieder, in Frühlingslieder, no. 3, published 1812

Vesenneje uspokojenije

 O, ne kladite menja
  v zemlju syruju.
 Skrojte, zarojte menja
  v travu gustuju.
 
 Puskaj dykhan'je veterka
  shevelit travoju,
 Svirel' pojot izdaleka,
 Svetlo i tikho oblaka
  plyvut nado mnoju.
