(German)
(English)
Und jetzt gang i ans Peters Brünnele,
und da trink i an Wein,
und da hör i an Kucku
aus der Moosbuden schrein.
(Refrain)
Holadi, holera, diria, holera,
Kuckuck, Kuckuck,
Holadi, holera, diria, holera,
Kuckuck, Kuckuck,
Holadi, holera, diria, holera,
Kuckuck, Kuckuck,
Holadi, holera, diria, ho.
Und der Adam hat d' Liab erdacht,
und der Noah den Wein,
und der David den Zitherschlag,
's müssen Steira g'wesen sein.
(Refrain)
Kauft's ma ab mein grean Janka,
kauft's ma ab mein schein Huat,
kauft's ma ab mein liebe Dirndl
weil i einrücken muaß.
(Refrain)
Zwischen Salzburg und Ischl,
ja, da geht der Schnee weg,
fahrt ma eini wird's finster,
fahrt ma aussi wird's hell.
(Refrain)
And so I went to Peter's Pub*
And there I drank some wine
And there I heard the cuckoo
Call from a moss-covered hut...
(Chorus)
Holadi, holera, diria, holera,
Cuckoo, cuckoo,
Holadi, holera, diria, holera,
Cuckoo, cuckoo,
Holadi, holera, diria, holera,
Cuckoo, cuckoo,
Holadi, holera, diria, ho.
And Adam invented love,
And Noah, wine,
And David, the plucked zither,
From Styria, they must come.
(Chorus)
Buy from me my green jacket
Buy from me my pretty hat
Buy from me my nice Alpine dress
I must join the army.
(Chorus)
Between Salzburg and Ischl,
Yes, there the snow melts.
When we go in, it gets dark,
When we leave, it clears up.
(Chorus)
