Dass's im Wald finsta is,
des macha d'Bam.
Dass mi ma Schatz net mag,
des glob i kam.
Mei Schatzerl hosst Nannerl,
hat schneeweiße Zanhnerl,
hat a Grüberl im Koi,
drum g'fallts ma so woi.

I bin halt von Müncha,
wo d'Sonn so schön scheint;
mei Schatz is ma liaba
als all moane Freund.
Mei Schatzerl hosst Nannerl etc.

Harvest dance song
Language: English  after the Bavarian (Boarisch) 
For the darkness in the forest
the trees are to be blamed.
That my lassie doesn't like me
I find hard to believe.
My lassie's name is Ann,
she has teeth as white as snow,
she has a dimple on the chin,
that's why I like her so much.

I come from Munich
where the sun shines so fair;
I like my lassie more
than all my friends.
My lassie's name is Ann etc.
