Translation of "Salut Printemps" (Anatole de Ségur)

Spring Greetings

Refrain

Greetings to you, oh Spring, season of youth
God restores their crown to the plains
The bubbling sap arises, breaking its bands.

1. Woods and fields do blossom
An invisible realm doth murmur, the water flows over the echoing rocks
Ringing out its thrilling song.

Refrain

2. The broom doth gild the green hillside
The haw pours forth its snowy bloom
All is freshness
Love and light
And song and scent pour forth from earth's fertile bosom.

Refrain

Hail Spring
Thou most welcome season.
