Lüneburg Heath

[Jeremy Osner]

1. On the Lüneberg Heath
In the beautiful country
I walked up and I walked back
All manner of things along the way I found
Refrain:
Valleri Valera ha ha ha
: And Juheirassa(?) :
: Oh my darling :
: For you know : it, yes

2. Brother, let the glasses clink
For the Muscatel
Is getting sour from standing too long
It must be drunk up

3. And the hounds and the barking
And the bushes and it fires (?)
Red hart we want to hunt
In the green, green forest

4. Oh you handsome, oh you fine,
Oh you picture like milk and blood
We want to deceive (?) our hearts
For you don't believe how it is (?)

A note dazu:
My grandfather sang a totally different, English,
song with the same ("Valleri Valera ha ha ha")
refrain:

I love to go a-wandering, along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing, my knapsack on my back,
Valleri Valera, Valleri Valera ha ha ha ha ha,
Valleri Valera, my knapsack on my back.

There were further verses but I don't remember them.
