HYACINTH 

HYMN TO THE HYACINTH 

Night-time, night-time, the moon is looking down
at the flowers that bloomed in the garden,
at the blossoming hyacinth, 
in our little garden
Night-time, night time, the moon is looking down 

And the moon turns to the clouds and says: 
Give a little drop of water to the flower beds! 
So the hyacinth can bloom In our lil' garden, 
thus says the moon to the clouds.

The rain came, and chimed on my window
sang a nice melody to the flower in my garden.
And the hyacinth answered in joy and happiness
to the rain that chimed on my window.

And tomorrow we'll all go to the garden
and we'll see the white flower there
and in honour of the hyacinth, my sons will sing the tune and there will be great joy in the garden.
