Bitte an den Mond
 (Sung text for setting by Anonymous)
 Matches base text
Language: Bavarian (Boarisch) 
Du Mond, i hätt' a Bitt' an di, 
Die därfst mer aber nit versag'n, 
O geh' und laß mi auf a Nacht 
Dein silbern's G'wandel trag'n. 

I möcht' so gern durch's Fensterlein 
Zum lieben Schätzerl eini schaug'n, 
Und mir amol was z'Gute tun 
An ihre blaue Aug'n. 

I möcht' ihr nur a Busserl drauf 
Aufs gute rote Bakkerl geb'n, 
Und mit dem Busserl gäb' i ihr 
Mein Herzerl und mein Leb'n.  

Und wenn zu früh am Firmament 
Die Sunne geht hoch auf in d'Höh, 
In ihre blaue Augerle, 
Da tät i untergeh!
