Just recht
Language: German (Lower Austrian) 
Our translations:  ENG
Viel bildschöne Dirnd'ln gibt's rund um und um,
åber ih håb' die meine und schau mih nit um.
Ihr wist's nit, wårum ih ån der a so heng'?
Gebt's Achtung, ihr Leutln, vertrau'n will ih's eng.

Nit z'groß ist's nit z'klein; will ih busseln mit ihr,
so dårf ih mih nit streck'n, nit buck'n zu ihr.
Nit z'dick ist's, nit z'dünn, denn mir könnt' ah vor åll'n
kein' mågere nit und kein' går z'fette g'fåll'n.

Nit z'wild ist's, nit z'schön; denn wär's wild, geb's a G'schra,
und wär's Dirnd'l går z'schön, g'fiels åandern hålt ah.
Nit z'jung ist's, nit z'ålt, gråd so recht für mein Blut,
und dass sie nit går z'gscheit ist, mein' ih, ist gut.

Nit z'reich ist's, nit z'årm, gråad so viel bringt's den Månn,
dass wås s'ihm håt zubråcht, it vorwerf'n kånn.
Sie ist hålt just recht und sie passt g'råd zu mir,
und dessentweg'n wir ih ah glücklih mit ihr.
