Heu‑Erntlied aus Hiadel

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Slovak (Slovenčina)

Auf der Alm, hoch und weit
Auf der Alm lag ich heut;
Dort im Gras schlief ich ein,
weicher kann kein Bett sein.

Auf der Alm, weit und frei,
ist gemacht schon das Heu,
Drum heut' Nacht, einmal schön,
soll's ins Heimattal gehen.

From a Bartók score.
