The land of dreams

Would you like to go hand in hand

to the beautiful land of dreams?

Beyond the fragrance of jasmine,

higher than the seashore's moan,

would you like us together to seek

the way to that beautiful land?

I've cut out from the blue sky the sails

of the ship that will carry us;

it will gently sail us as far

as the golden orchard of the stars.

I've cut out from the blue sky the sails

of the ship that will carry us.

But how distant the earth is now,

trailing its white wake behind it!

Let us ask the capricious butterflies

for help in finding our way.

Ah, how distant the earth is

on which our visions blossom!

You see, the beautiful land of dreams

is too high for human footsteps.

Together let us smell the jasmine

and sing again on the seashore.

You see, love alone knows the paths

to the beautiful land of dreams.
