Die Reu'
Language: German (Lower Austrian) 
Our translations:  ENG
Håb g'håbt in meiner Heimat dort a Dirnd'l lieb und gut,
bin åber 'gången von ihr fort; o wie's mih reu'n tut!
O Dirnd'l, liebstes Dirnd'l mein,
könnt' ih nur wieder bei dir sein.
O Dirnd'l, liebstes Dirnd'l mein,
könnt' ih bei dir nur sein!

Ih kenn' jetzt fremde Dirnd'ln viel, bin üb'råll umag'fåhr'n,
håb'n ålle 'trieb'n mit mir ihr Spiel und håb'n mih g'håbt zum Nårr'n.
O Dirnd'l etc.

Z' Paris, då håt mih eine 'druckt und busselt, und dåss wie!
An sauber'n håt's gleich d'rauf erguckt, und då wår's aus mit mir.
O Dirnd'l etc.

In Ungarn und in Polenland sind's besser um kein Håar,
sie schwätz'n, fålsch sind's ålle z'såmm', wås red'n, is nit wåhr.
O Dirnd'l etc.

Ihr Bub'n in Öst'rreich, glaubt's mein Wort: Drauss't ist's går wunderlih,
drum geht nit von der Heimat fort, sunst ruft's ihr so wie ih:
O Dirnd'l etc.
