by Christian Reinhold (1813 - 1856)

In Welschland
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
  Hier unter welschen Bäumen,
Orangen und Zitronen,
Wie süß ist's hier zu wohnen,
Wie süß ist's hier zu träumen!

  Wie süß ist's hier zu träumen
Von goldnen Jugendspielen,
Wo tausend Wunder fielen
Auf uns von allen Bäumen!

  Wie süß, die Zeit verträumen,
Gewiegt vom Arm der Liebe,
Und all das Weltgetriebe,
Den Haß und Neid versäumen!

  Die Zeit scheint auch zu säumen,
Versunken in Entzücken.
Wen Götter so beglücken,
Darf ewig jung sich träumen.

  Wie süß ist's hier zu träumen,
Wie süß ist's hier zu wohnen,
Im Dufte von Zitronen
Und von Orangenbäumen!

Confirmed with C. Reinhold, Gedichte, Stuttgart: Carl Mäcken, 1853, page 85.

Note for stanza 4, line 3, word 1: this word was erroneously rendered as "Wenn" in the first publication of Lang's song and has been corrected to "Wen". No song manuscript has this error.
