from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Bayrisches Volksliedchen
Language: Bavarian (Boarisch) 
Mei Bua, du hast Augen
wie die Hirschen so braun,
die zu gar nix nich taugen,
als in Spiegel 'nein schau'n.
Mei Bua, bist so keck,
und du bild'st der so viel ein,
als müsst' jede Dirn
g'rad in dich g'schossen sein.

Schön bist du von G'sicht,
und dein Schnauzbart ist fein,
und do g'fallst mer net,
mag dei Schatzerl net sein.
Such' ein' and're, mei Bua,
und lass mich nur in Ruh',
's gibt Mad'ln g'rad gnua,
geh' lass mich nur in Ruh'.
