Es ritten drei Reiter (deutsches Volkslied auf der Ukulele) 1777

Three Cavaliers Bid Farewell. This is my ukulele version of a German folk song from 1777 that seems to possess so many different lyrics on the web, but I finally settled on a few with help from the 1st German Ukulele Club. This song is about three horsemen (possibly knights) and leaving one's love behind at the city's gates.

Ade = adieu. I didn't do an English translation this time. Too tricky. I filmed the outdoor video at the Billings Estate, Ottawa on April 30, 2011. It's a peaceful place, literally in my backyard. I used a Trimph Uke with Worth clear Low G Tenor strings. The drum beat is from my fav. Casio synth. This was fun to do.

Sehr nettes Video - der Schluß ist am Besten . . . da kommen Deine Hardrock Züge deutlich raus ;-)

No matter for an english translation, but a french one had been welcome !

Mais sinon, c'est vachement bien fichu.
