from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Liebesscherz
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wo e kleins Hüttle steht,
Ist e kleins Gütle;
Und wo viel Bube sind,
Mädle sind, Bube sind,
Do ist's halt lieble.

Lieble ist's überall,
Lieble auf Erde;
Wenn es nur mögle wär,
Z'mache wär, mögle wär,
Mein müßt du werde.

‚Schätzle, des kann net sein,
Muß ja jetz wandre;
Aber wohin i geh,
Wo-n-i steh, wo-n-i geh,
Denk an kein Andre!‘

Wenn zu mei'm Schätzle kommst,
Sag, i laß grüße;
Wenn es fragt, wie mer's geht,
Wie es steht, wie es geht,
Sag: auf zwei Füße!

Und wenn es lustig ist,
Sag, i sei g'storbe,
Wenn's aber weine thut,
Klage thut, weine thut,
Sag, i komm morge.

Mädle, trau net so wol,
Du bist betroge:
Daß i de gar net mag,
Nemme mag, gar net mag,
Sell ist verloge.
