<p>Well, because Crucible of the Worlds says "from your graveyard", you could only use this ability if you discarded lands somehow. Burgeoning means you can put a land from your HAND onto the battlefield if your opponent plays a land, so it wouldn't count as a land per turn. </p>

So, if I have both on the battlefield, whenever one of my opponents plays a land, may a put a land from my graveyard onto the battlefield?

My guess is not, based on the wording of the cards. Because Burgeoning is not allowing me to "play a land" it is having me "put a land onto the battlefield" which is a different action.

Is this interpretation correct? (I'd rather it be the other way...)

You guessed right! (Sorry.) There are (at least) two reasons this combo doesn't work.

First: "Playing a land" is different than "putting a land card from your hand onto the battlefield." They're not interchangeable.305.4 This means that the choice you can make for Burgeoning's effect is not changed by Crucible of Worlds.

Second: Crucible of Worlds doesn't affect the separation between the hand and the graveyard. It simply allows you to take the "play a land" action with cards from an additional zone. Since Burgeoning uses the phrase "a land card **from your hand**," the land that you choose cannot be in the graveyard.
