Folk Songs Das Schönste Land der Welt Austrian folk song Das Schönste Land der Welt  - or The Most Beautiful Land in the World is an Austrian folk song reminiscing on the beauties of the Tyrolean countryside. With its towering snow-capped mountains, its sheer rock cliffs, and its verdent green pastures, the singer marvels at the beauty of Tyrol. The hiker spends the morning climbing so that he can see the sunrise from a mountain looking down on the valley that encapsulates alpine country beauty. Das Schönste Land der Welt is a folk song of unknown origin, though it is believed to have originated sometime prior to the 1920's. It is here performed by the Musikkorps 6 Der Bundeswehr Mit Chor. Listen to Das schönste Land der Welt Lyrics: Das schönste Land der Welt, Ist mein Tirolerland, Mit seinen bergeshöhn, Und seiner Felsenwand. Valleri, vallera, valleri, vallera, Hoch oben auf derm Alm. Valleri, vallera, valleri, vallera, Hoch oben auf derm Alm. Und wenn wir schaun, schaun, schaun, Wohl übern Zaun, Zaun, Zaun, In das schöne Land Tirol. Und wenn wir schaun, schaun, schaun, Wohl übern Zaun, Zaun, Zaun, In das schöne Land Tirol. Des Morgens in der Früh, Dann steig' ich oben drauf, Da geht so wunderschön, Die Morgensonne auf. Valleri, vallera, valleri, vallera, Hoch oben auf derm Alm. Valleri, vallera, valleri, vallera, Hoch oben auf derm Alm. Und wenn wir schaun, schaun, schaun, Wohl übern Zaun, Zaun, Zaun, In das schöne Land Tirol. Und wenn wir schaun, schaun, schaun, Wohl übern Zaun, Zaun, Zaun, In das schöne Land Tirol. English translation: The most beautiful country in the world, Is my Tyrolean land, With its mountains, And its sheer rockface. Valleri, vallera, valleri, vallera, High up on the alpine pasture. Valleri, vallera, valleri, vallera, High up on the alpine pasture. And when we look, look, look, Over the fence, fence, fence, In the beautiful country of Tyrol. And when we look, look, look, Over the fence, fence, fence, In the beautiful country of Tyrol. In the morning when it's early, Then I climb up it, There goes so wondrous, The morning sun. Valleri, vallera, valleri, vallera, High up on the alpine pasture. Valleri, vallera, valleri, vallera, High up on the alpine pasture. And when we look, look, look, Over the fence, fence, fence, In the beautiful country of Tyrol. And when we look, look, look, Over the fence, fence, fence, In the beautiful country of Tyrol.
