Karntner Liab
Language: Bavarian (Boarisch)
Mei Diandl håt zwa Äugerln, so schårz wie die Kohl'n,
mit dö håt mir 's Schlankerle mein Herzle schon g'stohln.
Hiaz hat sie mei Herzle, und i ihre Aug'n,
und 's Herzle und d' Äugerln, dö tuan hålt z'såmm taug'n.
(Jodler.)
Der Herrgott in Himmel durt, der gibt uns den Seg'n,
er håt hålt sei Freud dårån, wenn wir uns gern mög'n.
Die Liab kumt von Himmel, ma kånn nix dafür,
wånn d' Liab nit bei uns war', wås war ma dånn mir.
(Jodler.)
Und ruaft mi der Tod åb, so gehma hålt mit,
åber mirk dir, mei Schåtzerle, i hätt' noch a Bitt':
Geh' pflånz mir afs Grable a Bleamerl, i bitt;
dånn bet an Vaterunser, åber wanen därfts nit.
(Jodler.)

Carinthian Love
Language: English after the Bavarian (Boarisch)
My lassie has two eyes, as black as coal,
with them the little thief has stolen my heart.
Now owns she my heart and I own her eyes,
and heart and eyes go along very well.
(Jodler.)
The Lord in heaven gives us his blessing,
he's fond of us both liking each other.
Love comes from heaven, we are not to blame;
if there were no love, what would we be?
(Jodler.)
If death calls me, I'll go with him,
but mind you, lassie, I've one last wish:
Plant a flower upon my grave, I beg you,
then say the Lord's prayer - but you mustn't weep!
(Jodler.)
