So when you really love me darling bring me Edelweiá So when you really love me you should bring me Edelweiá. Freibier! Oh yeah! Freibier! Oh yeah! That's the way we like it! So when you really love me darling bring me Edelweiá ... Woman I need some Austrian loving I know what it means I better start climbing for the dopest flower on the top of the mountain. I know what you want they don't grow the ground Hiking up North like Cooly C you see eye to eye We're picking the one and only flower that shows love As you look into my eyes so we can show it with Edelweiá. So when you really love me darling bring me Edelweiá ... Ruck-sack Rucksack! Last night the Förster saved my life! Last night a Freibier turned me round And round and down and down and down Round and round and down and down and down. So when you really love me You should bring me Edelweiá!
