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.

Sur la montagne, là où souffle le vent, Là, Marie berce son enfant. Marie : « Ah Joseph, Joseph, mon cher Joseph, Ah, aide-moi à bercer mon petit enfant ! » Joseph : « Comment pourrais-je donc bercer ton petit enfant, Je ne puis moi-même à peine plier mes doigts. » Chuuh … schuuh … schuuh
