Franconia Regional Anthem (Instrumental) Das Frankenlied

Franconia (German: Franken, also called Frankenland) is a region in Germany, characterised by its culture and language. In the course of the restructuring of the south German states by Napoleon after the demise of the Holy Roman Empire, most of Franconia was awarded to Bavaria. The Frankenlied (Song of Franconia), or Lied der Franken (The Franconian's song) is the unofficial anthem of the German region of Franconia, and one of the most popular German commercium songs. It is also sung at official occasions. (English Lyrics / Translation) Get up, the air blows fresh and clean, those who sit for long have to rust. The sky lets us taste the most beautiful sunshine. Now hand me the staff and habit of the wandering scholars. I want to travel to the land of the Franconians during the beautiful summertime. Valeri, valera, valeri, valera, travel to the land of the Franconians! The woods are green, the hunting's good the grain has become heavy. They can hardly load the ships on the floods of the river Main. Soon the grape harvest will begin, the wine press awaits the wine. The patron saint of the vintners, Kilian, bestows something nice on us. Valeri, valera, valeri, valera, bestows something nice on us.
