Dear old apple tree tender snow-white dream precious memory
spring is sweet tonight being brought to me in the fading light
the world was young
.....The earth turns day by day .....life is going fast .....another April, May
.....I walk the ancient track .....and everything comes back .....so it's already over
.....and that may set us free
Dear old apple tree snow-white blossom sea with the swing that sighs and the butterflies
lying in the grass smelling how it was when the blackbird sang the world was young
Die Welt war jung / Der Apfelbaum (1964, Max Colpet; redrafting of Le chevalier de Paris, in 1950 by Angèle Marie Thérèse Vannier); sung by Hildegard Knef
