from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Eifersucht
Language: Swabian (Schwäbisch) 
Our translations:  ENG
E bissele Lieb und
e bissele Treu,
und e bissele Falschheit
ist alleweil derbei.

Die Kirsche send zeitig,
die Kirsche send gut,
und wenns Mädle vorbei goht,
so lupft mers de Hut.

Do drunte-n-im Thäle
gehts Bächle so trüb,
und i kann ders net hehle,
i han de so lieb.

Wenn i wisperl, wenn i schrei,
und du hörst me net glei,
so muß i verstehn,
daß i weiter soll gehn.

Und wenn i ders zehnmal sag,
daß i de lieb,
und du geist mer koi Antwort,
so wird mers ganz trüb.

Confirmed with Deutscher Liederhort. Auswahl der vorzüglichern deutschen Volkslieder aus der Vorzeit und der Gegenwart mit ihren eigenthümlichen Melodien, herausgegeben von Ludwig Erk, Berlin, Verlg von Th. CHr. Fr. Enslin, 1856, page 231.
