Wir kommen von den Bergen
Zillertaler Schürzenjäger
We come from the mountains
We come from the mountains
we come from the Alpine country
a song with a yodel and the girl by the hand
we climb up high
up to firn and ice.
With a backpack on the back at the heart of the Edelweiss
with a backpack on the back at the heart of the Edelweiss.
A gray leather pants and white socks as well
that's what every boy wears here in the country
no mountain is too high for us, no goal is too far.
With a backpack on the back at the heart of the Edelweiss
with a backpack on the back at the heart of the Edelweiss.
When the hour of farewell strikes
the mountain death overtakes me
a cross at the rock base glows in the sunset
brings me as the final prize
the most beautiful Edelweiss.
Yes, with a backpack on the back at the heart of the Edelweiss,
yes, with a backpack on the back at the heart of the Edelweiss.
