Now that days are getting longer
And the birds are singing in the trees
Now old bones are feeling stronger,
Now young hearts are flying with the breeze.
Now the barley is growing higher
And the mountaintop from snow is clear.
Let me fill your cup and drink with
me to welcome in another year.
Now the leverets are jumping
And the goslings learning how to swim.
Lambs are springing in the fields and
Foals are dancing on their legs so slim.
So much promise all around us
So much life that knows no pain or fear.
Let me fill your cup and drink with
me to welcome in another year. |
Many miracles in Nature
Few the years we have to see them all
Every leaf and every creature
Every flower, every young bird's call.
Let your eyes and ears be open
Let your heart again be full of cheer.
Let me fill your cup and drink with
me to welcome in another year.
Let your heart now lighter be and
Let your hat sit on your head askew.
Sins and wrongs let be forgiven
When in spring all life is born anew.
Now it's time to count our blessings
Soon enough the winter will be here
Let me fill your cup and drink with
me to welcome in another year. |
