O alter Duft aus Märchenzeit, Berauschest wieder meine Sinne; Ein närrisch Heer von Schelmerein Durchschwirrt die leichte Luft. Ein glückhaft Wünschen macht mich froh Nach Freuden, die ich lang verachtet: O alter Duft aus Märchenzeit, Berauschest wieder mich! All meinen Unmut gab ich preis; Aus meinem sonnumrahmten Fenster Beschau ich frei die liebe Welt Und träum hinaus in selge Weiten... O alter Duft - aus Märchenzeit!

哦 來自神話時代的古老香味， 再一次地迷醉了我的感官！ 歡樂劇團的淘氣惡作劇 穿梭在輕柔的微風之中。 幸福的欲望 令我喜悅 長久以來 我總蔑視它： 哦 來自神話時代的古老香味， 再一次地迷醉了我！ 我放棄所有的黑色幽默； 從我那充滿陽光的窗口 我自由地看著這個世界 夢想前往那幸福的遠方… 哦 來自神話時代的古老香味！
