Der Wand‘rer by Emil Burgstaller — Lyrics
1. Ein Sträußel am Hute, den Stab an der Hand,
zieht einsam der Wand'rer von Land zu Land.
Er sieht manche Städte, er sieht manchen Ort,
doch fort muss er wieder, muss weiter fort.
2. Viel Blumen am Wege, die sieht er da stehn;
der Wand'rer muss leise vorübergehn;
sie duften so herrlich, sie winken ihm hin,
doch fort muss er wieder, muss weiter zieh'n.

About Der Wand‘rer
Emil Burgstaller’s Der Wand’rer unfolds with a vivid portrayal of a solitary traveler. The TTBB arrangement emphasizes the journey, creating a sense of constant movement. The German secular text describes a wanderer’s relentless passage through diverse landscapes and encounters. He observes cities and towns, but is compelled to move on. Even the allure of fragrant flowers and a charming maiden cannot detain him. Life offers pleasures and its share of stumbles, but the wanderer’s destiny is to keep traveling, ever onward to new lands, leaving behind a trail of fleeting experiences and missed opportunities.
