Original text and translations

English text Winter has come, tralalala, welcome, welcome again, merrily mingling, Sleighbells are jingling, ha, ha, tralalala, Frosty the air! Cheeks are aglow, How swift they go. The maidens fair, so fair, Cold o'er the snow, North wind doth blow, Keener the pleasure, Joy without measure, the winter can bring, Winter is king,. Far down the stream, frozen like glass, gay skaters gleam, Like birds they pass, Maidens are racing Lovers are chasing, Hear the steel ringing, hear the ice singing, All ye who shiver come to the river, ha, ha, ha, ha, Tralalala. Winter is Kingha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, winter is king.

German text Frühling ist da, Tralarira! Tanzen und Springen Will noch gelingen, Winter, ade, Schnee nun und Weh! Süß in dem Baum Rauscht es wie Traum, Vöglein und Winde Kommen geschwinde, Winter, ade, Thränen und Weh! Nahe und fern Leuchtet der Stern; Mädchen und Buben Schnell aus den Stuben: Tralarira, Frühling ist da!
