by Josef Weyl (1821 - 1895)

Ein Sohn in der Fremde an seine Eltern
Language: German (Lower Austrian) 
Our translations:  ENG
Geliebte Eltern! 's Jahr ist aus,
g'hört schon ins alte Eisen.
Ich möcht' so gern auf Urlaub z'Haus
und hab' kein Geld zum Reisen.

Bescher' euch Gott ein glücklich Jahr,
so euch als mir zum Segen;
er möge euch vor jeder G'fahr
beschützen allerwegen.

Ihr habt ja eurem lieben Sohn
noch nie 'was abgeschlagen,
d'rum schickt mir Geld, dann werd' ich schon
euch Weit'res mündlich sagen.
