Yes, I remember
Language: English
Yes, I remember the spot so well, where chestnuts bloom in a far off dell. May was busy thro' all the hours flinging her sunshine, wreathing her flow'rs, Touching all hearts with witching spell! Yes, I remember so well, so well! Promise of beauty and peace of love shone o'er the earth and the sky above. Hours like minutes flow softly by; ah, how happy were you and I! Joy of that time what tongue may tell? Yes, I remember so well, so well!

Du trautes Plätzchen im fernen Thal
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Du trautes Plätzchen im fernen Tal, deiner gedenk' ich viel tausend Mal. Mai war's, wie heute, im Frühlingsschein strahlte die Sonne auf Flur und Hain. O schöne Zeit, nun, ach, so fern! Deiner gedenk' ich so gern, so gern! Glück nur verheißend und Lieb' und Ruh', so lachten Himmel und Erd' uns zu. Stund' auf Stunde schwand minutengleich, wir waren beide selig und reich. O schöne Zeit, nun, ach, so fern! Deiner gedenk' ich so gern, so gern!
