Mei Schatzel
Language: Swabian (Schwäbisch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Mei Schatzel hat g'sesse
auf der Alme in der Höh',
hat Lieder gesunge,
mei Herzli tat weh'.
Beim Singe hat öfters
er nach mir geschaut,
wann komme die Immli,
dann werd' ich sei Braut.

Am Himmel is a Feiertag,
die Sonn' hat'n rot Kleid,
mei Schatzel is bei mir,
wie groß is mei Freud'!
Mei Schatzel, der gleichet
dem Vögli im Wald,
er singet und springet,
wir heiraten bald.

Hei, wie so schläfrig
der Mond herabsieht,
er scheinet vom Wachen
und Suchen so müd'.
Er suchet sei Schatzel
bald hier und bald dort;
mei Schatzel is bei mir,
mei Schatzel hält Wort.
