Das Zauberland

Aus alten Märchen winkt es
Hervor mit weißer Hand,
Da singt es und da klingt es
Von einem Zauberland;

Wo bunte Blumen blühen
Im gold'nen Abendlicht,
Und lieblich duftend glühen,
Mit bräutlichem Gesicht;

Und grüne Bäume singen
Uralte Melodei'n,
Die Lüfte heimlich klingen,
Und Vögel schmettern drein;

Und Nebelbilder steigen
Wohl aus der Erd' hervor,
Und tanzen lust'gen Reigen
Im wunderlichen Chor; 

Und blaue Funken brennen
Auf jedem Blatt und Reis,
Und rote Lichter brennen
Im irren, wirren Kreis;

Und laute Quellen brechen
Aus wildem Marmorstein.
Und seltsam in den Bächen
Strahlt fort der Widerschein. 

Ach, könnt' ich dorthin kommen,
Und dort mein Herz erfreu'n,
Und aller Qual entnommen,
Und frei und selig sein!

מהאגדות הישנות צץ לו

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Grill)

See original

Language: Hebrew (עברית) after the German (Deutsch)

מהאגדות הישנות צץ לו
עם יד לבנה
שם נשמע הצליל והזמר 
של ארץ פלאים;

שבה פרחים ססגוניים פורחים
באור שקיעה זהבהב,
ומדיפים ריח ניחוח הם לוהטים 
עם פני כלה,

ועצים ירוקים שרים 
מנגינות עתיקות
וצפרירים נשמעים בסוד, 
וציפורים מצטרפות בציוץ;

וחזיונות ערפל 
עולים ממעבה האדמה
ורוקדים מחולות 
אווריריים במקהלה מוזרה;

וניצוצות כחולים בוערים 
על כל עלה וזר
ואורות אדומים רצים 
ומערבולת מטורפת;

ומעיינות רועשים פורצים 
מתוך אבן שיש פראית,
ובאורח פלא בנהרות זורחת 
ההשתקפות.

אח, לו יכולתי להגיע לשם 
ושם לשמח את לבי,
ולפרוק את כל הסבל, 
ולהיות חופשי ומאושר.
