Lyrics and translation Trauffer - Alpechalb

Alpechalb

I ben es Alpechalb
Imelche gärn,
Vo Hand, das macht kei Lärm
Zom meste chlopf ich e Jass
I juze lut, am liebste födleblut
I be zha för jede Gspass
Dr Güggel chreit,
Jetzt geits hie ab wie d post
De mist esch gfüert
Chom Bartli hol de Most
So isch es of dr Alp
Ja, hie gfallts mer halt
Wenn de Juz dors Tal ushalt
Ich ben es Alpechalb
Wenn Chäser besch,
Denn tanz i ofem Tesch
I nehm im Chäsi es Bad
D Chüeh si scho doss,
Jetzt gehts en 11i Schoss
Ond d Magd treiht jetzt scho am Rad
Dr Güggel tanzt,
Dr Melcher schwankt scho chli
Dr Chäs isch potz,
Chom Bartli schenk mal ii
So esches of dr Alp
Ja, hie gfallts mer halt
Wenn de Juz durs Tal ushalt
I ben es Alpechalb
Dr Güggel pennt,
U dr Melcher liegt im Raps
Und eine rüeft:
Chom Bartli hol de Schnaps
Ja, hie gfallts mer halt
Wenn de Juz dors Tal ushalt
So isches of dr Alp
Ja, hie gfallts mer halt
Wenn dr Juz durs Tal ushalt
I ben es Alpechalb

Alpine Pasture

I'm an Alpine pasture
I like to milk cows,
By hand, it makes no noise
I mostly play cards
I yodel loud, mostly "Edelweiss"
I'm up for any fun
The rooster crows,
Now it's time to get going
The manure has been spread
Come on Bartli, get the cider
That's what it's like on the Alp
Yes, I like it here
When the yodeling echoes through the valley
I'm an Alpine pasture
When cheese is made,
I dance on the table
I take a bath in the cheese
The cows are here,
Now it's time for an 11-course meal
And the maid is already turning the wheel
The rooster dances,
The milker is already swaying a little
The cheese is ready,
Come on Bartli, pour me a drink
That's what it's like on the Alp
Yes, I like it here
When the yodeling echoes through the valley
I'm an Alpine pasture
The rooster sleeps,
And the milker lies in the field
And someone shouts:
Come on Bartli, get the schnapps
Yes, I like it here
When the yodeling echoes through the valley
That's what it's like on the Alp
Yes, I like it here
When the yodeling echoes through the valley
I'm an Alpine pasture
