Select language to translate this lyric

I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land
In Dixie Land, where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
With one that kissed she marry Will the weaver
But Willum was a slight deceiver
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
But when he put his arm around 'er
He smiled that's fierce as a forty pounder
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve 'er
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
With one kissed she acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
Away, away, away, away, away down south in Dixie
