Dear Everyone:

The melody of the popular song "One day when we were young" (from the
1938 movie "The Great Waltz" about Johann Strauss II) was taken from
the famous duet "Wer uns getraut?" (Who tied the knot?) of the opera
"Der Zigeunerbaron" (The Gypsy Baron).

Was the lyrics of the song also translated from that of "Wer uns
getraut"? What is the original German lyrics of the latter like? Could
you also provide the original lyrics?

A Youtube video of "Wer uns getraut" by Helen Donath and Werner Hollweg:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPG6bt1hbp0

Thank you for reading and replying!
