"Edelweiss" is a song featured in the 1965 film The Sound of Music sung by Bill Lee as Captain von Trapp and Charmian Carr as Liesl von Trapp. Composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics written by Oscar Hammerstein II, the song is Captain von Trapp's subliminal goodbye to his beloved homeland, using the flower as a symbol of his loyalty to Austria.
The Von Trapp family sang the song as one of their musical numbers in the Salzburg Festival.
Lyrics[]
Captain:
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
Captain & Liesl:
Edelweiss (Edelweiss), Edelweiss (Edelweiss)
Every morning you greet me
Small and white (small and white), clean and bright (clean and bright)
You look happy to meet me
Captain:
Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
Captain:
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
Edelweiss, Edel--
Maria:
Small and white
Maria & Captain:
Clean and bright
All:
You look happy to meet me
All (including the audience):
Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
