Holzhackerlied English translation
von Comedian Harmonists

The jolliest people are woodcutters - Dri holdrio holdrio.
Who chops the wood in the green forest, so that the echo resounds from the woods?
Who saws the big logs in half and sings a song while doing it?
Who then climbs up after work to the girl on the alpine pasture,
Brings her flowers from the rocky cliffs? That must be a woodcutter!


The jolliest people are woodcutters - Dri holdrio holdrio.
They have arms full of strength, hearts full of joy - Dri holdrio holdrio.
We chop the wood and think to ourselves, we’re splitting the devil's bones in two.
The jolliest people are woodcutters, they have a wicked sharpness!
