English translation <poem> (verses one and three) Music, that loveliest art, Is to be held in honor, Is in favor everywhere, With young and old. It freshens the heart That suffers sorrow, Dispels all ill humor, And lets no one remain in sadness. Therefore shall we, with bright voice, Always praise Frau Musica; She will, certainly, always Show us her favor. Join in, join in the song of praise, Let your voices ring out And do not cease to sing. |
