from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Da unten im Thale
Language: Bavarian (Boarisch) 
Da unten im Thale
Läuft's Wasser so trüb,
Und i kann dir's net sagen,
I hab' di so lieb.

Sprichst alliweil von Lieb,
Sprichst alliweil von Treu,
Un e bißele Falschheit
Ist au wohl dabei!

Und wenn i dir's zehnmal sag',
Daß ich dich lieb un mag,
Willst e es nit verstehn, muß i 
Halt weiter gehn!

Für di Zeit, wo du mi geliebt,
Da dank i dir schön,
Und wünsch', daß dir's anderswo
Beßer mag gehn!
