's Busserl
 (Sung text for setting by M. Meyer-Olbersleben)

Language: Bavarian (Boarisch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
A Busserl is a g'spassig's Ding,
es riegelt's ganze Bluet.
Man isst es nit, man trinkt es nit,
und dechterscht schmecht's so guat.

Und was a Schreiber schreiben kunnt'
wohl in zehntausend Stund,
dös druckt an oanzigs Busserl aus,
dem Schatzerl auf den Mund.

A Busserl is a g'spassig's Ding;
wer's net begreifen kann,
im Herzen is a Kammerl d'rin,
da fangt's zu krabbeln an.

Und wennst nix mehr zum Plauschen woaßt,
nimm's Maderl um den Hals,
schmatz ihr a saftig's Busserl auf,
und's Maderl woaß dann all's.

A Busserl is a g'spassig's Ding,
das Beste, was man hat!
Das Schlimmste bei den Busseln is:
Man kriegt's halt nimmer satt!

Composition:

    Set to music by Max Meyer-Olbersleben (1850 - 1927), "'s Busserl", op. 58 (Vier Männerchöre) no. 4 [ men's chorus ]
