Lyrics and translation Florian Ast - Geissepeter

Geissepeter

D'Sunne glüeit am Rand vom Bärg,
E chaute Wind dä zieht id's Tau
U i wär froh we hie wärsch näbe mir.
Nur no mau wie vor däm haube Jahr,
Ghäpt u gha hätte nang nie la ga
U wie mir de i d'Ouge hesch gluegt.
I bi im Schnee u i ihm ds'Aberot,
Dr'Schpicher dert wo geng euter wird.
Es chunt mir vor als wär i imne Troum.
Mängisch dänk i a geschter no,
U mängisch möcht i morn no mau,
No mau eso wie denzumau.
U die Gschichte da vom Geissepeter,
De wärsch du ja ds Heidi gsii!
E heiterefahne aus nur blödi Gschichte!
I bi im Schnee u i ihm ds'Aberot,
Dr'Schpicher dert wo geng euter wird.
Es chunt mir vor als wär i imne Troum.

Geissepeter

The sun shines on the edge of the mountain,
A gentle wind pulls into the dew
And I would be glad if you were near me.
Just once more like before that cruel year,
Held and hugged never let go
And how I gazed into your eyes.
I am in the snow and I am in the crimson evening glow,
The barn where it is always getting later.
It seems to me as if I were in a dream.
Sometimes I think of yesterday,
And sometimes I would like tomorrow once more,
Once more as we were then.
And the story there of the Goat-Peter,
You would have been the Heidi, my love!
A cheerful flag of only foolish stories!
I am in the snow and I am in the crimson evening glow,
The barn where it is always getting later.
It seems to me as if I were in a dream.
