Volkslied
 (Sung text for setting by C. Weber)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT
Mein Schatzerl is hübsch,
Aber reich is et nit.
Was nützt mir der Reichtum?
Das Geld küss i nit.
Schön bin i net, reich bin i wohl,
Geld hab' i a ganz Beutel voll,
Geh'n mir nur drei Batzen ab,
Dass i grad' zwölf Kreuzer hab'.
Mein Schatzerl is hübsch,
Aber reich is et nit.

Mein Schatzerl is fromm,
Is so herzig, so gut,
Und gibt's mi a Busserl,
So wächst mi der Mut.
Drum gilt's mi mehr als alles Gold,
Is mi mein Schatzerl hold,
Und wenn i stets bei ihm blieb,
Wär's mi um eins so lieb!
Mein Schatzerl is treu,
Wie hab' ich es so lieb.
