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,
valde ha 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."
valderi, valdera, valdera,
valde ha ha ha ha ha ha,
valderi, valdera
"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 every greenwood tree.
valderi, valdera, valdera,
valde ha ha ha ha ha ha,
valderi, valdera
>from every greenwood 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.
valderi, valdera, valdera,
valde ha ha ha ha ha ha,
valderi, valdera,
as o'er the world we roam.

oh, may i go a wandering,
until the day i die!
oh, may i always laugh and sing,
beneath god's clear blue sky!
valeri, valdera, valdera,
valde ha ha ha ha ha ha,
valderi, valdera
beneath god's clear blue sky!
