Shenandoah, ein wundervolles Lied, voll Sehnsucht nach einem – nicht nur geographisch – ungebundenen Lebensort

Oh, Shenandoah
Oh, Shenandoah,
I long to see you,
Away you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah,
I long to see you,
Away, I’m bound away,
‚cross the wide Missouri.
 
Oh Shenandoah,
I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river.
For her I’d cross,
Your roaming waters,
Away, I’m bound away,
‚Cross the wide Missouri.
 
‚Tis seven years,
since last I’ve seen you,
And hear your rolling river.
‚Tis seven years,
since last I’ve seen you,
Away, we’re bound away,
Across the wide Missouri.
 
Oh Shenandoah,
I long to see you,
And hear your rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah,
I long to see you,
Away, we’re bound away,
Across the wide Missouri.
