Jetzt kommt der Frühling, der Himmel isch blau,
Die Wegle sin trucken, die Lüfte geh'n lau.

Jetzt kommt der Frühling, das Gras un der Klee
Es grünt scho im Thäle un a auf der Höh.

Jetzt kommt der Frühling, die Vögle im Wald
Zwitschern und locka ihre Weible wol bald.

Un i bring mei Schätzle ein Veigelestrauß.

Lentelied

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Bavarian (Boarisch)

Nu komt de lente, de hemel is blauw,
En droog zijn de wegen, de winden zijn lauw.
 
[Nu komt de lente, de klaver, het gras,
In ’t dal is het groen al en ook bij de pas.]¹
 
Nu komt de lente, de vogels in ’t bos
Lokken hun vrouwtje, ’t gekwetter breekt los.
 
Nu komt de lente, ’t geboomte bot uit,
En ik geef viooltjes aan ’t schatje, mijn bruid.

¹ […] Door Mendelssohn overgeslagen.
