by Richard Genée (1823 - 1895)

Du wonniges Land, vom Zauber umhüllt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du wonniges Land, vom Zauber umhüllt, 
Du glücklicher Strand, mit Wundern erfüllt, 
Ihr Düfte so reich, ihr Düfte so süß, 
Italien, du Paradies!  

Du lachende Au im sonnigen Schein, 
Du Himmel so blau, du schattiger Hain, 
Wie freudig, wie gern gedenke ich dein, 
Nah dir oder fern.  

Deinen Klang, deinen Sang 
Glaub' ich immer zu hören 
Weit hinaus, jubelnd laut, 
Lieblich kosend, süß und traut.  

Woge des Meeres küßt den Strand, 
Kühlend den heißen Sand, 
Dort schirmt ein Hain vor Sonnenglühen 
Wo die Zitronen blüh'n.
