Dreaming in Shades of Céladon and Pink

I'd like to be under the tree
In the Pfarrwirt's garden in the shade.
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his céladon green garden in the shade.

I'd ask my friends to come and see
The warm pink rose' an' me.
I'd like to be under the tree
In a céladon green garden in the shade.

We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found.
I'd like to be under the tree
In the Pfarrwirt's garden in the shade.

We would sing and look about
Count blushing roses on céladon bead board.
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing there'd be roses for everyone on board!

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to have one more Mélange,
In the Pfarrwirt's garden with you.

On this grey morning,
the third in a row -
after two days of torrential rains already -
I needed a reminder of summer
in one of Vienna's most beautiful places,
where lazing away a midsummer afternoon
for the length of a cup of coffee
is simply priceless.

One more thing to smile about?
