Du Stadt Meiner Träume (Wien, Wien, Nur Du Allein)

My heart and my mind
Always yearn for Vienna
For Vienna, how it weeps, how it laughs
I know my way around there
Yes, that's where I feel at home
By day and even more so at night

And no one remains indifferent
Whether young or old
Who knows Vienna as it truly is
If I had to leave once
From this beautiful place
Then my longing would never end

Then I would hear from a distance a song
That sounds and sings
That beckons and draws

Vienna, Vienna, only you alone
Shall always be the city of my dreams
Where the old houses stand
Where the lovely girls walk

Vienna, Vienna, only you alone
Shall always be the city of my dreams
Where I am happy and blessed
Is Vienna, is Vienna, my Vienna

At every festivity
Well, you know
I'm always there
I keep my spirits up
Until late in the morning
Then everything is all the same to me

And when I'm at the wine tavern
Sitting there with someone
And longingly an arm embraces me
When secretly and softly
In honor of the homeland
A Strauss waltz resounds

Then I would hear from a distance a song
That sounds and sings, that beckons and draws

Vienna, Vienna, only you alone
Shall always be the city of my dreams
Where the old houses stand
Where the lovely girls walk

Vienna, Vienna, only you alone
Shall always be the city of my dreams
Where I am happy and blessed
Is Vienna, is Vienna, my Vienna

Whether I want to or not
I just hope it's very late
That I have to leave the world someday
Separated must be
From love and wine
Because everything, as it comes, also passes

Ah, that will be quite nice
I won't need to go
I'll just fly up to heaven
There I'll sit down
Look down on Vienna
The St. Stephen's Cathedral greets me from below

Then I would hear from a distance a song
That sounds and sings, that beckons and draws

Vienna, Vienna, only you alone
Shall always be the city of my dreams
Where the old houses stand
Where the lovely girls walk

Vienna, Vienna, only you alone
Shall always be the city of my dreams
Where I am happy and blessed
Is Vienna, is Vienna, my Vienna
