........................................Kufstein in Tirol
Washing and cleaning listening to Heino yodeling
singing Kufsteinlied on my IPod with headphones,
dancing and harmonising in thirds and fifths - and
enjoying myself hugely, under the influence of this
happy folk song I become a force of nature when
yodeling haute voice with Heino and choir and my
Dance grows wilder: once told a German colleague
I loved yodeling - nonplussed she wanted to know
why and I told her, who was no singer at all, that it
felt wonderful to make one’s voice jump between
octaves, she clearly had never tried it, never could
understand the joy of climbing the wide staircase
In an office building marching to military music or wildly
dancing while yodeling, but the security guards surely
understood it well, when I caught their eye they were
laughing with me and twirling along - one recognised
me masked five years after I saw him last, it must be
because I’m still skipping to a beat in my head - and
It’s even more fun to yodel and sing while working hard
in the house - family members scattering as I advance
at speed, brandishing dust cloths & broom for sweeping,
turning in circles and yodeling at the top of my lungs!
Kufsteinlied
Kennst du die Perle, die Perle Tirols?
Das Städtchen Kufstein, das kennst du wohl!
Umrahmt von Bergen, so friedlich und still.
Ja das ist Kufstein dort am grünen Inn,
Ja das ist Kufstein am grünen Inn,
Ho - la - di - le .....
Ho - la - di - le .....
..... bei uns in Tirol!
Es gibt so vieles, bei uns in Tirol.
Ein gutes Weinderl aus Südtirol.
Und mancher wünscht sich, es möcht immer so sein.
Bei einem Madel und 'nem Glasel Wein, [2X]
Bei einem Madel und 'nem Glasel Wein.
Und ist der Urlaub dann wieder aus,
so nimmt man Abschied und fährt nach Haus.
Man denkt an Kufstein, man denkt an Tirol.
Mein liebes Städtchen lebe wohl, lebwohl
Mein liebes Städtchen lebwohl, lebwohl.

Lyrics in English
Do you know the pearl, Tirol's pearl
The little city Kufstein, the one you know
Surrounded by mountains, so peaceful and still
Yes, this is Kufstein at the green inn [2X]
There is so much with us in Tirol
A good sausage from southern Tirol
Everybody thinks it should be that way forever
By a girl and a bottle of wine [2X]
And then the vacation is over,
You say goodbye and drive back home
You think about Kufstein, you think about Tirol
My dear girl live well, live well [2X]

Contrite And Make Amends
And then Destiny caught up with me, those in need of
peace and harmony so seriously disturbed they started
shouting angrily and though it made me furious, I knew
I was wrong to yodel loudly and now in deathly silence I
Listen as Heino continues singing happily in my ears where
only I can hear him disturbing the peace, I’ll have to launch
a campaign to reform once again, taking other people into
consideration is important and I agree, when they pull ugly
Faces it is my own fault for being so inconsiderate - there is
a whole garden when I can yodel - why do it in the kitchen
like this - it must be a manifestation of evil intent, I must be
more contrite and make amends, whatever that may mean
...........................................................................................
Amira & Corlea Flower Duet; anger abating, sweetest of
sounds taking me up to heaven where I beg forgiveness
for losing my temper, while listening it is as if the angels
anoint the earth dispensing celestial forgiveness for our
human indifference to love and our lack of understanding
for the urgent need for peace and harmony - I’m sorry I
made such a noise while I felt so happy - as other people
around me were suffering frustration and anger - due to
serious problems: I can’t help them solve these, but I can
calm down by listening to the magnificent duet of Amira
harmonising her perfect vibrato with Corlea - showing us
what true beauty sounds like: though I can’t emulate them,
I can admire and spread the news of their voices creating
the most delightful incense to calm a perturbed spirit and
direct our sorrowful eyes to the sweet angels in heaven
