Schodzeitn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When the first bell rings above the valley floor, I lace my boots and head out through the door. The larch trees lean where the cold streams run, And every turning path says the day’s begun. [Chorus] Schodzeitn, schodzeitn, step into the day, Turn around together, let the worries fall away. Schodzeitn, schodzeitn, heel and toe in time, Up the hill and back again, the whole valley’s in a line. [Verse 2] Auntie’s got the plum cake wrapped in a cloth, The old men laugh when the young ones show off. A red scarf flies as we circle the square, And the mountain wind keeps time in our hair. [Chorus] Schodzeitn, schodzeitn, step into the day, Turn around together, let the worries fall away. Schodzeitn, schodzeitn, heel and toe in time, Up the hill and back again, the whole valley’s in a line. [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] If your feet are tired, borrow mine, There’s room for every heart in this line. One more turn before the evening’s through, The next step’s waiting there for you. [Final Chorus] Schodzeitn, schodzeitn, step into the day, Turn around together, let the worries fall away. Schodzeitn, schodzeitn, heel and toe in time, Up the hill and back again, the whole valley’s in a line. Schodzeitn, schodzeitn, carry on the cheer, We’ll meet beneath the mountain when the next dance brings us near. [Outro] Heel and toe, now one more time, Schodzeitn, schodzeitn, valley in a line.
