And in the snow mountains
.jpg)
And in the snow mountains there is a Silesian folk song whose origins go back to the 18th century, various older versions even to the 16th century.
It sings about the Kłodzko snow mountains , with the little fountain the river March ( Morava in Czech ) is meant, which gave the country of Moravia its name.
Lore history
The text version that is widespread today was published in 1842 by Hoffmann von Fallersleben in his collection of songs, Silesian Folk Songs with Melodies . He arranged the song with the indication of origin "From Breslau " as an alternating song between a man and a woman. The male singer says goodbye and promises his return on impossible terms, whereupon the woman emphasizes the finality of the parting. The song was widely used by the youth movement in the 1920s.
song lyrics
And in the snowy mountains
there a little fountain flows cold,
and whoever drinks from it
will never get old.
I drank from it
Quite a few fresh drinks;
I didn't get old,
I'm still young.
The little
fountain that flows over there , you should always drink from there;
If you have a sweet heart,
you should always wave.
I waved my eyes to
you , I stepped on your foot -
Oh, like a heavy clearing,
When someone has to part.
Goodbye, my darling, I'm parting, goodbye, my darling
!
When are you coming back,
dearest dearest mine?
When it will snow, roses will
rain and cool wine will rain -
goodbye, my darling, I'll part,
goodbye, my darling !
It's not snowing roses
and neither is there any wine:
You won't come back,
my dearest!
