The Karthaus song

On the train from Bologna, and the bus from Meran
I come back to the valley as much as I can
The mountains are rising, the river runs brown
I am coming at last to my favourite town

Chorus:

Come away, come away
To the town in the valley
Where the people are so friendly
And I feel so at home

In the morning when I walk through the mist up the hill
It is sunny and warm and the air is so still
I look down on the village and I secretly smile
For I'll be with my friends in a little while

[Chorus]

I am called to the mountains, I am called to the sea
And I wakl on the glacier, it is calling to me
The sheep bells are ringing and the mist is coming on
I remember my time, it will shortly be gone

[Chorus]

Last chorus:

Time to go, time to go
From this town in the valley
I will think of you fondly
When I come to my home
