by Anton, Freiherr von Klesheim (c1816 - 1884)

Wan's Mailüfterl wäht
Language: Bavarian (Boarisch) 
Wan's Mailüfterl wäht, 
Z'geht in Wald draust da Schnee, 
Da hebn di blau'n Veigerln 
Dö Köpferln auf d' Höh'; 

Und d'Vögerln, dö g'schlafn ham 
Durch d' Winterszeit, 
Dö wern wider munter, 
Und singen voll Freud',  

Und blüah'n ámahl d' Ros'n
Is 's Herz nimmer triab,  
Den d' Ros'n-Zeit, is á 
Dö Zeit für dö Liab; 

Nur d' Ros'n dö blüah'n 
Schön frisch alli Jahr; 
Abá d' Liab blüaht nur ámahl 
Und nachá is gar. 

Jed's Jahr kummt dá Früahling, 
Is Winter vorbey, 
Dá Mensch abá hat nur 
Án ánzig'n Mai; 

Dö Schwálberln fliagn furt, 
Do sö ziagn wider her, 
Nur dá Mensch, wan der furtziagt, 
Der kummt Nimmer mehr!
