But all in high spirits.
:51:06
They accept their fate
:51:08
And along with their captain
:51:12
They sing this song:
:51:18
Over the Gotthard buzz the horseflies,
The nasty horseflies.

:51:24
And when they're over
They're on the other side.

:51:30
The nasty horseflies, Yodelio.
:51:33
It's the same every autumn
Till the summer.

:51:37
It's always been like that
And it always will be.

The Gotthard post coach travels south.
:51:57
It's a long, long journey.
:52:01
The horses sweat in front of the coach
:52:05
And the people sweat behind.
:52:08
But see what's flying round the horses
:52:12
As though they belonged to them.
:52:15
Yes, it's the horseflies
:52:19
And they give them no peace.
