Notes for Andreas Lerchgessner:
Song of Berlichingen            Refrain
This is my homeland,
Within a valley - in a small bed,      In beautiful Schwabenland,
A little silvery grey river flows,      It is unique yet world renowned,
There you will find a beautiful village,      My Berlichingen
Surrounded by sunflecked woods.      I will always call out to you,
Oh my valley home,

(Chorus)      How beautiful you are!

Where a village church so proudly stands,
It's spire pointing heavenwards,
You will find the kindest people,
Of old age and youngest child.

(Chorus)

Where once Gotz, a strong man he,
Ruled with an iron hand,
Where one still quotes the words he spoke,
And the world still is as it should be.

(Chorus)

Where Mulberg steeply climbs,
Kathrinenberg so proudly stands,
The Burgberg known by everyone,
That's where my homeland is.

(Chorus)

Where first I saw the light of day,
Where first I said my prayers,
Where Church and School have taught me well,
My Homeland I will always adore.
