from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Uf' m Berg, da giht der Wind
Language: Silesian (Schlesisch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE GER
Uf' m Berg, da giht der Wind,
da wiegt de Maria ihr Kind
mit ihrer schlohengelweißen Hand;
sie hatt' ach derzu keen Wiegenband.
Uf' m Berg, da giht der Wind,
da wiegt de Maria ihr Kind.

Maria:
"Ach, Joseph, Joseph, liebster Joseph mein,
ach, hilf mer wiegen mei Knabelein!"

Joseph:
"Wie kann ich d'r denn dei Knabla wieg'n,
ich kann ja doch selber kaum de Fingerla bieg'n."

Schu -- schu -- schu.
