The glory of the Spring blossom is the inspiration for this cheerful ditty

lyrics

The light in the morning spreads over the fields
And over the locks with their lambs so new
The Sun, it is lifting the dew from the meadows
Adorning the flowers with precious jewels

So sing for the sunrise, and sing for the morning
And sing like a lark in the sky so blue
The May is blooming, a new day is dawning
A day in the Springtime of life anew

An echo is sounding deep down in the forest
The season is turning beneath the trees
The Earth, she is stirring - awaking from slumber
Her mantle becoming a cloak of green

So sing for the sunrise, and sing for the morning
And sing like a lark in the sky so blue
The May is blooming, a new day is dawning
A day in the Springtime of life anew

The music is playing, the pipers are piping
The children are dancing around the tree
Our voices are joining the birds in the chorus
Along with the ribbons, all flying free

So sing for the sunrise, and sing for the morning
And sing like a lark in the sky so blue
The May is blooming, a new day is dawning
A day in the Springtime of life anew
