Alongside Attwenger he is considered as one of the most influential heads of the "Neue Volksmusik" (lit. "New Folklore Music") movement.
He became famous as Hubert von Goisern und die Alpinkatzen.
After this very successful setup split by the end of 1994,
HvG produced two world music CD with musicians from Tibet and Africa.
In 2000 he made his comeback with a new band and the album "foen".
The studio album "iwasig" was recorded after the tour and released 2002.
A personal project first, but due to the big success of the first "Trad" CD,
soon "Trad II" followed. Both feature original austrian folk songs.
The latest and biggest project is the "Linz Europe Tour 2007-2009".
Travelling on an adapted cargoship, fully equipped with a stage,
the journey went east first and then will head west.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
wenn in mir um a Diandl schau

i mag a Diandl aus da Stadt
was dicke Wadln hat.
Mei, ja mei

Schen san de Landertanz

In Hubert von Goisern's song Koa Hiatamadl, he professes that he prefers a city girl with thicker legs than a traditional girl from the mountains, highlighting his unique taste in women. He describes how most people are thin and unimpressive, but he admires a girl who is well-rounded and healthy. He contrasts between the skinny girls from the hills who he calls "Hiatamadl" and the curvier girls from the city who he admires. He even mentions a few specific girls he knows, contrasting their body types to illustrate his point.
Beyond just the surface-level message of the lyrics, this song represents a deeper theme of defying traditions and going against the norm. In the rural areas of Austria where Hubert von Goisern was raised, it was considered desirable to have a traditional mountain girl as a wife. However, the singer challenges this traditional view by celebrating a different kind of beauty, as well as rejecting the notion that people should conform to traditions just because they are expected to.
Overall, this song showcases Hubert von Goisern's unique perspective, love for his homeland, and willingness to challenge societal norms.

Don't speak Spanish but i tried to translate it with the help of GTranslate (probably sucks):
The song uses dialects but a standard German translation can be found here: http://www.songtexte.com/uebersetzung/hubert-von-goisern/koa-hiatamadl-deutsch-43d6ffc3.html
With this you could try to translate it with a better translator perhaps.
Oh hombre, oh hombre
cuando busco chicas
entonces sé exactamente
ella tiene que estar cerca
y un poco más grueso
oh hombre
Oh hombre, oh hombre
la mayoría de las mujeres tienen un marco
klapperdürr y apoyarse en todos lados
Hombre, oh hombre
no puede ser uno de esos
Estribillo: 2x
No me gusta ninguna chica de cabaña
no tiene terneros gruesos
Me gusta una chica de la ciudad
los grandes terneros tienen.
Oh hombre, oh hombre
el moni con el pelo verde
es más hermoso que el año pasado
También tiene derecho
no un poco en la balanza
Hombre, oh hombre
Ya sé que Annamarie
Prefiero huir de eso enseguida
no es nada
no en la parte posterior y no en la parte delantera
Estribillo: 2x
No me gusta ninguna chica de cabaña
no tiene terneros gruesos
Me gusta una chica de la ciudad
los grandes terneros tienen.

I have heard about Hubert while passing holidays in Austria. I entered a music shop (when it was in Jurassic time, Tyranosaurus hunted and You were buying music on CD's in shops). I asked to the tenant to show me something quite rock but typically austrian. He did not have to think for long and got me a double CD of Hubert with two albums. He told me I would not be dissapointed and I certainly wasn't. I am a fan........
