lyrics

O alter Duft [–] aus Märchenzeit, Oh ancient fragrance [–] of a fairytale age,
Berauschest wieder meine Sinne! Intoxicate again my senses!
Ein närrisch Heer von Schelmerein A knavish multitude of bedevilment
Durchschwirrt die leichte Luft. Swirls through the tranquil air.


Ein glückhaft Wünschen macht mich froh A favorable longing takes me cheerfully
Nach Freuden, die ich lang verachtet. To joys, which I love disdained.
O alter Duft [–] aus Märchenzeit, Oh ancient fragrance [–] of a fairytale age,
Berauschest wieder meine Sinne! Intoxicate again my senses!


All meinen Unmut geb ich preis; Al my frustrations I have eulogized;
Aus meinem sonnunrahmten Fenster From my sun-framed window
Beschau ich frei die liebe Welt I marvel over the dear world
Und träum hinaus in selge Weiten... And dream further to glorious reaches...

O alter Duft [–] aus Märchenzeit, Oh ancient fragrance [–] of a fairytale age,
