German Folk – Mein Vater war ein Wandersmann

Mein Vater war ein Wandersmann
Und mir steckt's auch im Blut;
Drum wander' ich froh, so lang ich kann
Und schwenke meinen Hut.
Falleri, fallera
Falleri, fallera, ha ha ha ha ha,
Falleri, fallera
Und schwenke meinen Hut.

Das Wandern schafft stets frische Lust,
Erhält das Herz gesund,
Frei atmet draußen meine Brust,
Froh singet stets mein Mund.
Falleri, fallera
Falleri, fallera, ha ha ha ha ha,
Falleri, fallera
Froh singet stets mein Mund.


Warum singt dir das Vögelein
So freudevoll sein Lied?
Weil's nimmer hockt! Landaus, landein
Durch and're Fluren zieht.
Falleri, fallera
Falleri, fallera, ha ha ha ha ha,
Falleri, fallera
Durch andre Fluren zieht.

Was murmelt's Bächlein dort und rauscht
So lustig hin durch's Rohr?
Weil's frei sich regt! Mit Wonne lauscht
Ihm dein empfänglich Ohr.
Falleri, fallera
Falleri, fallera, ha ha ha ha ha,
Falleri, fallera
Ihm dein empfänglich Ohr.


Drum trag ich's Ränzlein und den Stab
Weit in die Welt hinein,
Und werde bis ans kühle Grab
Ein Wanderbursche sein.
Falleri, fallera
Falleri, fallera, ha ha ha ha ha,
Falleri, fallera
Ein Wanderbursche sein.

My father was a wayfarer
And it's in my blood too
So I wander happily as long as I can
And pivot my hat
Valeri, valera,
Valeri, valera ha ha ha ha ha,
Valeri, valera,
And pivot my hat

Wandering takes care of fresh air
And keeps the heart healthy
My chest breathes freely outside
And happily sings my mouth all the time
Valeri, valera,
Valeri, valera ha ha ha ha ha,
Valeri, valera,
And happily sings my mouth all the time.

Why does bird sing its
Song so happily for you?
Because it never stops by,
Flies here and there on the meadow
Valeri, valera,
Valeri, valera ha ha ha ha ha,
Valeri, valera,
Flies here and there on the meadow.

What mutters and rushes the stream there
So happily through the pipe?
Because it can move freely, listening with great delight
Is your sensible ear
Valeri, valera,
Valeri, valera ha ha ha ha ha,
Valeri, valera,
Is your sensible ear.

So I carry my package and a rod
Wide into the world
And will be happy wayfarer
Till I am in my cold grave
Valeri, valera,
Valeri, valera ha ha ha ha ha,
Valeri, valera,
And will be happy wayfarer.

I prefer the songs from the good old times.

Yes but OP found really shitty version.

>>486259394
I posted it. The melody is the same, its just a modern dance song setting. Its fun and exciting.

It's a trash version and those three women are whores. This version is better:

No, its a corny 1940s style marching band version. Not exciting. Its only better in that its for choir which was how it was originally sing.

Marching band music sounds stupid.
