Lyrics
High on a rocky ledge lives a Mädel, Edelweiß Shy as a shadow, lovely as lace, and cold as ice High on a rocky ledge, I pledged my love to her Every time I climb up to Paradise How many times I've been up to see her, goodness knows Huffing and puffing, dressed in the warmest climbing clothes How many chances would be taken in my Hopeless pursuit of the Schnee-Mädel-Edelweiß Then spoke a spirit, "If you would win your lady love" There's only one way, fall to your death from high above You will begin to grow in snow beside the one You have waited for to be mated with Now I'm an edelweiß to mädel edelweiß Dying to be with her wasn't any sucrifice We so deliriously happy on a ledge Where I pledged my love to my lady fair So, you who are climbing breathless to see me and my love Snow flowers growing fonder on lover's ledge above If you've the yen to pluck, then pluck us both For we who have lived as one wish to die as one
