Leaving Salzburg: Edelweiss


For what dreams doyou bring us,
With yourchampions pronounced in deeds,
And how many maids
wait with longings in between?
Bring us dreams of
golden tomorrows dear Edelweiss.
 
How many have
fallen for you high one?
Your royal stems,
petals so noble,
Above us you
flourish in wait,
For how do your
dreams bloom for such feats of valiance?



Tell me Edelweiss,
How many brave
lovers dare to touch your promise?
For who with a
bosom full of hope do you give
In dreams of
golden tomorrows, hopes so noble?



Oh Edelweiss leaveme my heart,
Your rich favor in
elevation of grace,
Ringing in my
dreams do you torment,
With promises
empty as the air you breathe
