from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Die Schwälble ziehet fort, ziehet fort
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA
Die Schwälble ziehet fort, ziehet fort,
Weit an en andre Ort;
Und i sitz' do in Traurigkeit,
Es isch a böse, schwere Zeit.

Könnt' i no fort durch d' Welt, fort durch d' Welt,
Weil mir's hie gar net, gar net g'fällt!
O Schwälble, komm, i bitt', i bitt'!
Zeig mir de Weg und nimm mi mit!
