Translation
Da unten im Tale
Language: Bavarian (Boarisch)  after the Bavarian (Boarisch)
Da unten im Tale Läuft's Wasser so trüb, Und i kann dir's net sagen, I hab' di so lieb. Sprichst allweil von Liebe, Sprichst allweil von Treu', Und a bissele Falschheit Is auch wohl dabei. Und wenn i dir's zehnmal sag, Daß i di lieb [und mag]1, Und du willst nit verstehn, Muß i halt weitergehn. Für die Zeit, wo du gliebt mi hast, [Da]2 dank i dir schön, Und i wünsch, daß dir's anderswo Besser mag gehn.
