Translation
At the very moment of your birth,
the light of dawn
broke in a new form, [bringing] new comfort.
All longings, all attainment
found their fulfillment in the smiling blue skies.
What are the birds singing today?
With flower and fruit, trees remain bowed over.
Today, in the rustling forest, in the sweet breeze,
all dance with new rejoicing.
Today, into smiles and good cheer,
into songs and satisfaction
fulfillment entered on the new breeze.
