Music from My Childhood

Edelweiss

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever


The first time I heard this song was when our class adviser and English teacher in sixth grade taught it to us. I think shortly thereafter I saw the film, "The Sound of Music"; one of my all time favourite film.

I've sung this song many times when I feel melancholic, happy or simply when it came to my mind.
