Leaving Salzburg:Edelweiss

For what dreams do you bring us,
With your champions 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 leave me my heart,
Your rich favor in elevation of grace,
Ringing in my dreams do you torment,
With promises empty as the air you breathe.
