Container 6, " Heidi " switserdütsh to english please

Hi, can anyone please translate this to english

And of course post lyrics too

Hi Malco, I couldn´t find the lyrics either.
If anybody finds them, please post, I will try to translate it for you


Tahira

That's going to be hard because I believe none of us can write down Swiss German lyrics while listening to the song!

But maybe someone knows some local website where they might be, because i dont even know where to look :S
Or at least if someone could give the general idea what this song is about if direct translation is not yet possible ?

Here is the youtube link:

I have listened to it and I have to admit that I only understand parts of it. I would need the lyrics for a translation or being able for saying something about the message.

It´s somehow referring to the famous book by Johanna SPiry "HEidi". In this bookd Heidi was growing up in the alps and her friend was "Geisen-Peter". He was a shephard, Heidi was living with her Grandpa (Großvater) and then an aunt came and took her for growing up and going to school to a big city (Frankfurt).

But the song is not repeating the story. I says something like Heidi is not a lady.

MAybe some of our swiss users here can help.

I wanted to suggest that you, Malco, write the band a message asking for lyrics (as there are none available on the net) but they only have a guest book on their homepage http://www.container6.ch.vu/
Not sure if they will react to these kind of messages.
You could try it on MySpace, if you are registered there: http://www.myspace.com/container6

Ok thanks for the Heidi story Tahira and Steena, i posted the question to their guestbook... so i will see if this gets me anywhere

The song hasn't much in common with the Heidi story by Johanna Spiry
I will try to write it down it isn't so difficult , the English translation will follow:

ich stah hie obä uf dä alp und luägä abä uf z heidi und ihri pflichtä
I am at the top of the alp an look down at Heidi and her responsibilities/duties
da chunt dä peter und macht sä a, das gang i'z abä go richtä
Peter is coming and chat her up/turn her on, but I will go done and arrange it

Heidi, mier wei doch beidi, Heidi ohho ohho
Heidi, come on we want it both, Heidi ohho ohho
Heidi, du bisch kei Lady, Heidi ohho ohho
Heidi, you aren't a lady, Heidi ohho ohho

dä seid de mit sinär geissäfrässi ich söll still sie und droht mer schläg a
then he (Peter) said with his "goat mouth" that I should leave her and he threats to hit me
da chunt där grossvater u gseht üs beidi und wählt de peter zu Heidis ma

However, finally I haven't a chance and say goodbye to the mountains
