Theme from The Searchers [German translation]

What makes a man to wander,

What makes a man to roam?

What makes a man leave bed and board

And turn his back on home?

Ride away, ride away, ride away

Some men they search for Injuns

Or humpback buffalo

And even when they've found them

They move on lonesome slow

Ride away, ride away, ride away

The snow is deep and oh so white

The winds they howl and moan

Fire cooks a man his buffalo meat

But his lonely heart won't warm

Ride away, ride away, ride away

A man will search his heart and soul

Go searchin' way out there

His peace of mind he knows he'll find

But where oh Lord, Lord where?

Ride away, ride away, ride away.
