Mein Vater war ein Wandersmann [English translation]

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.
