SHENANDOAH
Ronny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ging dahin mit seinen Träumen,
Abendrot liegt auf den Bäumen.
Und stillt fließt der Missouri,
und stillt fließt der Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah, ich schließ die Augen,
denk' an dich und all dein Sehnen,
Und stillt fließt der Missouri,
und stillt fließt der Missouri.
Oh Shenandoah, im Tal der Sehnsucht
liegt ein Hauch verklung'ner Lieder,
und die Nacht schaut stumm hernieder.
Und stillt fließt der Missouri,
und stillt fließt der Missouri.
The lyrics to Ronny's song "Shenandoah" evoke images of a bygone era of the American Midwest. The song speaks of a day spent under the sun, filled with dreams, and watching the sunset over the trees. The Missouri River flows gently, like a peaceful accompaniment to the wistful musings of the singer.
As the chorus repeats, the singer closes their eyes and thinks of Shenandoah, a place full of longing, happiness, and tears. The valley where it lies is imbued with the faint echoes of songs that have faded into the past, and the night silently watches over it all. The Missouri River continues to flow, a constant and unwavering reminder of the passage of time and the inevitability of change.
Overall, "Shenandoah" is a reflective and nostalgic song that speaks to the universal human experiences of longing, memory, and the passage of time.
