Wie traulich war das Fleckchen

Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Wie traulich war das Fleckchen,
Wo meine Wiege ging,
Kein Bäumchen war, kein Heckchen,
Das nicht voll Träume hing.
Wo nur ein Blümchen blühte,
Da blühten gleich sie mit,
Und alles sang und glühte
Mir zu bei jedem Schritt.
Ich wäre nicht gegangen,
Nicht für die ganze Welt! -
Mein Sehnen, mein Verlangen,
Hier ruht's in Wald und Feld.

Nostalgia
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Com'era piacevole l'angolino
dove dondolava la mia culla,
non c'era alberello, cespuglietto,
che non fosse pieno di sogni.
Dove sbocciava un fiorellino,
sbocciavano anche loro
e tutto cantava e splendeva
per me ad ogni passo.
Non me ne fossi andato,
no per tutto il mondo!
Il mio desiderio, la mia nostalgia,
sta qui nei boschi e nei campi.
