Italy
Kennst du das Land, wo
die Zitronen blühn,
Im dunklen Laub die
Goldorangen glühn,
Ein sanfter Wind vom
blauen Himmel weht,
Die Myrte still und hoch
der Lorbeer steht,
Kennst du es wohl?
Dahin! Dahin
Möcht ich mit dir, o mein
Geliebter, ziehn!
Johann Wolfgang Goethe
Knowest thou where the
lemon blossom grows,
In foliage dark the orange
golden glows,
A gentle breeze blows from
the azure sky,
Still stands the myrtle, and
the laurel, high?
Dost know it well?
'Tis there! 'Tis there
Would I with thee, oh my
beloved, fare.
Johann Wolfgang Goethe
Conosci tu il paese dove
fioriscono i limoni?
Nel verde fogliame
splendono arance d'oro
Un vento lieve spira dal
cielo azzurro
Tranquillo è il mirto,
sereno l'alloro
Lo conosci tu bene?
Laggiù, laggiù
Vorrei con te, o mio
amato, andare!
Johann Wolfgang Goethe
