What does Valdri mean in the song "The Happy Wanderer"?

People use to manipulate the Valdri in this song and sing Valerie to me when I was a kid...so I grew up thinking they were really singing Valerie in this song. I was 25 when I realized they were really singing Valdri. I was in the Disney store and they had the words sliding below a video of the song. I'll admit I was a little sad when I learned the truth. Even though, I grew up hating the song because people would always manipulate that word and sing it to me when I was a kid. Now I'm 48...but I'm curious...What does Valdri mean?

    When I was in school and we sang that song, we sang "valderie," with three syllables. I always thought it was akin to "la la la" in England and the US. If it has a meaning, I don't know it, but it was really cute that YOU got "Valerie."
