Uf' m Berg, da giht der Wind
Language: Silesian (Schlesisch)
Uf' m Berg, da giht der Wind, da wiegt de Maria ihr Kind mit ihrer schlohengelweißen Hand; sie hatt' ach derzu keen Wiegenband. Uf' m Berg, da giht der Wind, da wiegt de Maria ihr Kind. Maria: "Ach, Joseph, Joseph, liebster Joseph mein, ach, hilf mer wiegen mei Knabelein!" Joseph: "Wie kann ich d'r denn dei Knabla wieg'n, ich kann ja doch selber kaum de Fingerla bieg'n." Schu -- schu -- schu.
