Hello,
For my grandfather's cremation ceremony, I'm looking for a song (title + artist) that he would occasionally sing. Here is an excerpt from the lyrics of that song: "Come back beautiful month of May, make all the birds sing. Bring back joy under the shade of the elm trees." I'm sorry, but that's all I have. It must be a bit of an old song since my grandfather sang it (he was 89 years old). If you find the title and/or the artist, it would be nice of you to let me know.
Thank you.

    Hello,
    I am 60 years old and I learned this song in primary school!

    Here is what I remember

    Come back, beautiful month of May
    Make all the birds sing
    Bring joy
    Under the shade of the elm trees
    Give the violet back
    The brightness of its spring
    And let the daisy
    Be reborn in the fields

    Bring sweetness
    The beauty of your colors
    And let the bright sun
    Announce your awakening
    O May, let your youth
    Come back to enchant us
    Restore joy to our saddened hearts.

    Hello Alexouuu
    I remember this song, there are other verses, I think, but my memory fails me

    Come back beautiful month of May (W.A MOZART)

    1. Come back beautiful month of May,
    Make our forests green again,
    And make bloom again,
    The violet by the stream;
    Ah! what is our impatience,
    To see these violets open,
    In the new beauty,
    When will we see you blossom again.

    2. When will we really see,
    The sweet spring green again,
    Come back beautiful month of May,
    For the joy of all the children;
    Bring a thousand violets,
    Let them bloom everywhere;
    Also bring back the nightingale
    And of course the call of the cuckoo.

      Come back beautiful month of May, make all the birds sing,
      revive the cheerfulness under the shade of the elm trees.
      Restore to the violet, the brightness of its spring,
      and let the daisy bloom in the fields.

      In this budding spring, ......


      and I no longer know the rest!

        in this icy winter
        we dream of May,
        we are shivering
        in anticipation of spring

      And I was looking for the lyrics to that song I sang in my childhood! What a pleasure to see that people haven't forgotten. Well done!

      If it can help you, I have another verse, in addition to yours we are currently rehearsing it with my choir for the concert on June 21, here it is in full:
      Come back beautiful month of May
      Make our forests green again
      And let the violets bloom once more
      By the stream
      Ah how we long
      To see these violets open
      In your new beauty
      When will we see you blossom again?

      When will we truly see
      The sweet spring green again?
      Come back beautiful month of May
      For the joy of all children
      Bring a thousand violets
      Let them bloom everywhere
      Also bring back the nightingale
      And the call of the cuckoo

      At the beginning of May
      We go to gather the lily of the valley
      In the coolness of the woods
      The humble flower stirs us
      And great is our joy
      To pick this little sprig of happiness
      That these delicate bells
      Perfume our homes and our hearts

      There you go, it is sung to a tune by Mozart. Happy singing

      Have a great day everyone

    I'm a bit late to the party, but I confirm that this song is inspired by a lied by Mozart... the translation is actually quite faithful to the original text in German.

    Come back, beautiful month of May, make all the birds sing.
    Bring back joy under the shade of the elms
    Restore the violet to the brilliance of its spring
    And let the daisy be reborn in the fields

      Bring back joy, under the shade of the elms
      Restore to the violet the brightness of its spring
      And let the daisy be reborn in the fields

      Bring your sweetness, the beauty of your colors
      And may the bright sun announce your awakening
      Without you new season, the meadows are asleep
      Let the swallow quickly find its sweet nest

      In this icy winter, we dream of the month of May
      We are shivering, waiting for spring
      Oh May, may your youth return to charm us
      Restore joy to our soothed hearts.

    Unfortunately, no, it's not this song, but it's kind nonetheless.

    Does anyone have any idea about the author and/or title of this song?

    Here is the excerpt I know:
    Come back, beautiful month of May, make all the birds sing.
    Bring back cheer under the shade of the elms
    Oh you new season, wake our hearts (or bodies) that are asleep.
    May the swallow quickly rebuild its sweet nest

    Really thank you if you have any ideas

    Come back, beautiful month of May, make all the birds sing.
    Bring back the joy, under the shade of the elm trees
    Restore to the violet the brightness of its spring
    And let the daisy be reborn in the fields

    Bring your softness, the beauty of your colors
    And let the clear sun announce your awakening
    Without you, new season, the meadows are asleep
    May the swallow quickly find its sweet nest

    In this icy winter, we dream of the month of May
    We are shivering, waiting for spring
    Oh May, let your youth charm us again
    Bring back the joy, to our calmed hearts

      Super, thanks Edenea! I can't use it for my grandfather's cremation ceremony, but I will pass this on to my mother, it will make her happy. So thanks to you, Lyrico, and Picholine as well. Thanks everyone, keep it up!

    Oh beautiful month of May
    Make all the birds sing
    Bring back the joy
    Under the shade of the elms
    Restore to the violet
    The brightness of its spring
    And let the daisy
    Rebirth in the fields.

    These are the lyrics of the first verse. I too am looking for the continuation...
    I also learned this song when I was young.
