Süßes Wort
Language: Swiss German (Schwizerdütsch)
I weiß mer schier nid z'helfe vor luter Glück und Freud: hüt het mer eusers Chindli s'erst Mol de Name g'seit! Wenn d'Engel tete singe, es chönt nid schöner si, as wenns vom chline Müli s'erst Mol tönt: "Müetterli!"
Note: In line 4 the music reads "s'ert Mol" ; it has been corrected according to line 8
