The Happy Wanderer

I love to go a wandering, along the mountain track
And as I go, I love to sing, my knapsack on my back

* Valderi, Valdera, Valdera
Valdeha ha ha ha ha ha, Valderi, Valdera
My knapsack on my back

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

High over head, the skylarks wing, they never rest at home
But just like me, they love to sing, as o'er the world we roam

O, may I go a wandering, until the day I die !
O, may I always laugh and sing, beneath God's clear blue sky
