I danced at the Boge de Landamme

Zoge am Boge de Landamme tanzed is one of the most famous Swiss folk songs and the unofficial anthem of the Canton of Uri . It was composed by Albert Jütz and the world premiere took place in the Hotel Höfli in Altdorf . After numerous performances in Zurich , where Albert Jütz studied dentistry, the song quickly became known.

In the national media the song in 1994 arrived at the victory celebration on the occasion of the adoption of the Alpine Initiative in Altdorf: the former Uri Landammann Hansruedi Stadler , who had become nationally known as a proponent of the initiative, danced in front of television and the press with his wife to this song, as he had promised before the vote in the event of the not very likely victory.

text	translation
I went dancing on the Boge de Landamme like dr Tiifel d'Tili dure schwanzäd. Dülidülidü whistles s'Klarinett Hitte gemmer nid id s'Bett.	Pulled on the bow, the Landammann dances like the devil he dances across the hayloft, Dülidülidü whistles the clarinet, Today we don't go to bed.
Refrain: Jüpelidü and Zötteli dra Only the walls are always beautiful .	Refrain: Jüpelidü and Zottelchen just follow the walls nicely.
Sepp, take it Vreneli avenges a di ane, lift your skirt like anere Faanä, take revenge and lift it up a book, hit will dance, hit gahts rüch.	Sepp, take Vrenchen close to you, hold on to your skirt like a flag, pull her tight to you and hold her around your stomach, today there is dancing, today it is rough.
refrain	refrain
Bedälä, cheibä, tanzä and schwitzä, d'Tschöpä peel off and d'armel umelitzä, Hitä tanzäd dr young and dr old, d'Süü and dr Bock and dr Stier and s'Chalb	Dance stomping, move fast, dance and sweat, take off your jackets and roll up your sleeves. Today the boy and the old man dance, the sow and the buck and the bull and the calf.
refrain	refrain
And if the pastor doesn't like liide, give em en alti Kafimili z'triibe, who doesn't dance and bedälä cha, the turd wheel doesn't use any tiifel derna.	And if the pastor doesn't like it, give him an old coffee grinder to turn. Whoever cannot dance and stomp dance will not mourn the devil when he is carried away.
