Welche Wonne, welche Lust, Blondchen's aria from Die Entführung aus dem Serail

Welche Wonne, welche Lust		What bliss, what rapture
Regt sich nun in meiner Brust!		now reigns in my breast!
Voller Freuden will ich springen,	I could jump for joy
Ihr die frohe Nachricht bringen;	as I bring the good news,
Und mit lachet und mit Scherzen		and with laugh and jest
Ihrem schwachen, kranken Herzen		prophesy and rejoicing
Freud und Jubel prophezeihn.		for her poor despairing heart.
