Till There Was You - Lyrics

Music and Lyrics: Meredith Willson
(Sometimes misspelled as Meredith Wilson)
Musical: "The Music Man"

Meredith Willson Google image from http://www.radioarchives.org/pictures/Meredith%20Willson.jpg
Meredith Willson (1902-1984) - musician, playwright and composer

There were bells on the hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you.

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you.

And there was music
And there were wonderful roses
They tell me
In sweet fragrant meadows of dawn, and dew.

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
Till there was you!

In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus: Eins, zwei, g'suffa - YouTube video, 45 sec.

In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus: Eins, zwei, g'suffa - Lyrics
In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus: Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da läuft so manches Fäßchen aus: Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da hat so manche braver Mann: Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Gezeigt was er so vertragen kann
Schon früh am Morgen fing er an
Und spät am Abend kam er heraus
So schön ist's im Hofbräuhaus.

Alta Vista Babel Fish Translation: In Munich a Hofbräuhaus is located: One, two, g'suffa. So some keg runs out there: One, two, g'suffa. There has some good man: One, two, g'suffa. Show that he can stand in such a way. Already early in the morning he began. And late in the evening he came out. So beautiful it is in the Hofbräuhaus.

Lyrics: Oscar Hammerstein
Musical: "The Sound of Music"

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white,

You look happy to meet me.
Blossom of snow

Bloom and grow forever.

Edelweiß, Edelweiß,
Du grüßt mich jeden Morgen,
Sehe ich dich,
Freue ich mich,
Und vergess' meine Sorgen.
Schmücke das Heimatland,
Schön und weiß,
Blühest wie die Sterne.
Edelweiß, Edelweiß,
Ach, ich hab dich so gerne.
