[Verse 1] Beyond the pines where morning mist ascends Where granite towers pierce the crystal sky The ancient mountain calls to distant friends Through frozen valleys, hear its timeless cry [Pre-Chorus 1 - German] Der Schleier hebt sich, hörst du diesen Klang? Die Stimme hallt durch Täler, tief und lang [Chorus 1] (very fast yodel) Yodel-ay, Yodel-ay-EE-hoo, Yodel-ay-EE-hoo! YO-dle-adle-EE-dle-idle-OO! (normal speed) The summit sings its song across the ridge! From peak to vale across the icy bridge! The ancient voices call through mist and snow! (very fast yodel) YO-del-ay-hee, YO-del-ay-hee-hoo! YO-dle-adle-EE-dle-idle-OO! (normal speed) The mountain's heart beats strong in winds that blow! [Verse 2] The lone wanderer ascends the final height Where eagle's wings cast shadows on the stone He stands between the darkness and the light And learns the ancient songs that echo true [Pre-Chorus 2 - German] Der Gipfel ruft, spürst du seine Macht? Die Reise endet hier in dieser Nacht [Chorus 2] (very fast yodel) Yodel-ay, Yodel-ay-EE-hoo, Yodel-ay-EE-hoo! YO-dle-adle-EE-dle-idle-OO! (normal speed) The summit sings its song across the ridge! From peak to vale across the icy bridge! The ancient voices call through mist and snow! (very fast yodel) YO-del-ay-hee, YO-del-ay-hee-hoo! YO-dle-adle-EE-dle-idle-OO! (normal speed) The mountain's heart beats strong in winds that blow! [Bridge] In the stillness where the eternal snows hold court The spirits of the summit now resort The mountain stands as guardian of the old Its voice will echo long past mortal days [Outro] (very fast yodel) Yodel-ay... EE-hoo... the echoes fade away Lay-EE-oo... del-ay... across the peaks to stay (normal speed) The mountain sleeps... but never dies... Its song lives on... in Alpine skies.... (very fast yodel) YO-del-ay-hee, YO-del-ay-hee-hoo! YO-del-ay-hee, YO-del-ay-hee-hoo!
