In the past, I would have never thought I would sing in German in Texas. I learned the song last year.. Years ago, I sang folk songs in quite a few European languages including German but I thought it was all a past matter. In the Hill Country, due to history of the land, German is in use again.
Pictures from our September walks in the area.
Last year, during the October Fest, I asked one of the Czech bands who played there, to sing this song. Well, they did not know it. Maybe because it is actually a Slovak song. However, I had learned it from Czech friends, during one of the EU educational projects I was part of.
Tancuj, Tancuj means Dance, Dance.

The landscape of the Hill Country always amazes me with its beauty. It all makes me sing in various languages. :-) Lorelei is a German folk song. Since most of the Hill Country pioneers were of German/Prussian descent, singing in German here has its reasons.
This is my version of the song "Ja, mein(e) Liebe Tochter". Related to walking and being alone. Nobody really wants the latter, not for a long time at least. Well, 2020 has been a weird yera, it even has made me sing solo in public. I have not done it since I was 15 but then, it was totally different - I sang at the all school gathering with the music teacher's piano accompaniment + the school choir support.

The song
Mom, may I go for a walk?
Yes, my beloved/dear daughter.
Mom, may I romance?
Yes, my beloved/dear daughter.
Mom, mom of mine, nobody wants to be all alone.
Mom, may I go for a walk?
Yes, my beloved daughter.
