Oi' Schwalb' macht koi'n Sommer
Language: German (Deutsch)
Oi' Schwalb' macht koi'n Sommer, oi' Tröpfle koi'n Bach,
oi' Feder koi' Vogel, oi' Ziegel koi' Dach.
Oi' Baum macht koin' Wald net, oi' Schöpple koin' Brand,
oi' Donner koi G'witter, oi' Finger koi' Hand.
Oi' Wort macht koi' Predigt, oi' Kärtle koi' Spiel,
aber oi' Kuss vom Schätzle, o! oi' Kuss macht viel!

One swallow doesn't make a summer
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
One swallow doesn't make a summer, one drop isn't a stream,
one feather isn't a bird, one tile is no roof.
One tree doesn't make a forest, one small drink doesn't lead to a hangover,
one clap of thunder isn't a storm, one finger doesn't make a hand.
One word doesn't make a sermon, one card doesn't mean a game,
but one kiss from my little treasure, o, one kiss means a lot!
