Der Dudelmoser [English translation]

everybody said he looks just like the fairy king

and for the girls he was the hottest guy around

and he often took them onto his mountain meadow

and his face was known in every town

and he said they all call me Doodlemoser

doodle doodle doodledee die

and if a man can't be a hunter he will be a poacher

gonna poach until the day I die

(REF)

dancing on the pastures high

can't feel wrong, must be right

laughing, watching time go by

Such a pretty sight

dancing on the pastures high

but don't go, alone at night

for he's kept up there with him

many a handsome bride

nobody had a clue just where he was from

and they locked up all the girls in the home

and at nightfall he was out again to stalk his prey

and his eyes would show an eery glow

and some girls made off to meet Doodlemoser

Doodle doodle doodledee die

but when they had danced for two, three hours

they ran home before the fall of night

(REF)

dancing on the pastures high

can't feel wrong, must be right

laughing, watching time go by

Such a pretty sight

dancing on the pastures high

but don't go, alone at night

for he's kept up there with him

many a handsome bride

And the city women came and they arranged a meeting

and they stayed up on the mountain all night

and the preacher said " i always knew that he's a demon"

but the mayor said " i think he's all right"

and they made a fair dollar with Doodlemoser

doodle doodle doodledee die

And all the Beer, the Hats and the Lederhosen

would sell as quick as apple pie

(REF 2)

dancing on the pastures high

blessed be, if you try

fill your cup right to the brim

live before you die

dancing on the pastures high

it's always been this way

go embrace what life will bring

on each and every day
