English text

O charming it is, and delightful to dwell,
On thy sweet fascination,
O beauteous waltz,
No words can I find thy great charms to extol,
And my muse for the want of them suddenly halts.

For round and round to music's swell
Of melodies sweetly enchanting,
O waltz, with circling fairy whirl,
Our senses thou art entrancing.
