by (Karl) Wilhelm Osterwald (1820 - 1887)

Aber wann du bist fern
Language: Swabian (Schwäbisch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Aber wann du bist fern
Hab i kei Sonn, kei Stern,
Der mir die dunkel Welt
Freundli erhellt!
Hab ein Erbarmen dann,
Schatz, mit mir armen Mann,
Funkelhell Schelmaug du,
Sieh freundli mi an!

Wann mir dei Schelmaug lacht
Ist mir die Erdennacht,
Ist mir das Jammerthal
Hell auf einmal!
Ach! und wenn du mich liebst,
Mir a süß Busserl gibst,
Spring i gleich lebig ins
Himmelreich hinein.
