The sun rises above the mountains, summer is calling us all. [Male Mountain Call] Hoo-i-hoo... [Female] We lead the cattle up to the Alp, step by step, up the mountain. The bells ring through the morning, from far away comes the call. [Male] Up to the Alp! [Group, rhythmic] Step by step! Up to the Alp! [Group, rhythmic] Step by step! Mountain by mountain! Step by step— up to the Alp! [Male] The Föhn carries the mountain song far away. [Female] The hay dries down in the valley, [Male] the cheese ripens up on the Alp. [Both] What summer gives— we take with us! [Driving Folk-Trance Build] [Group, rhythmic] Day by day! Mountain by mountain! What summer gives— we take with us! [Group, rhythmic] Day by day! Mountain by mountain! What summer gives— we take with us! [Male] Up to the Alp! [Both] Summer lives! [Alpine Trance Drop, Alphorn-synth hook, Hackbrett, rolling bass, cowbells] [Hook] Up on the Alp! Summertime! What summer gives— we take with us! Up on the Alp! Summertime! Step by step— mountain by mountain! [Female] The sun already stands lower, the evening is growing cold. The meadows are becoming quieter, summer is growing old. [Male] We have seen sun, wind and rain up here on the Alp. What climbed up in early summer must soon return home. [Female] Back home... [Group, urgent] Ripe! Ripe! The summer is ripe! Ripe! Ripe! The time has come! [Breakdown, distant cowbells] [Female, quiet] Step by step... [Female] Do you hear the bells? [Main Hook, group] The cattle are coming! From the mountain into the valley! The cattle are coming! The bells are ringing everywhere!
