Vergnügte Pleißenstadt, |
Contented city of the Pleisse, |
—Beglückte Neißenstadt,— |
—Fortunate city of the Neisse, – |
Dein Labsal, |
Your delight |
—Dein Blühen,— |
—Your flourishing— |
wächst und glänzt vor andern allen. |
increases and sparkles above all others. |
Wer seine Lust an |
Whoever takes pleasure in |
deinem Prangen, |
your splendor, |
—deiner Schönheit— |
—your beauty,— |
übt, |
Will fall in love and remain in love with you, |
Der wird und bleibt in dich verliebt, |
And nothing else will please him more. |
Dem kann es nirgends mehr gefallen. |
