Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-dera-ra-ra-ra-ra
I am a happy wanderer,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.
Chorus:
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-dera,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
(last line of verse)
I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun,
So joyously it calls to me,
"Come! Join my happy song!"
I wave my hat to all I meet,
And they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From ev'ry green wood tree.
Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die!
Oh, may I always laugh and sing,
Beneath God's clear blue sky!
Val-dera-ra-ra-ra-ra
I am a happy wanderer,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.
Chorus:
Val-deri,Val-dera,
