O alter Duft
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Our translations:  CHI ENG FRE ITA NYN
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 古老的香味
Language: Chinese (中文)  after the German (Deutsch) 
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!
