Mein Schatz und ich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Des Sunntags, wenn d'Mess aus is, geh i af'm Platz,
da wart' i a wengerl, da kummt halt mei Schatz.
Sie fragt mi no immer ob lieb i sie hab',
da nehm' i s' beim Köpferl und busserl s' brav ab.

I bin arm, du bist arm, da sein mer gleich;
i hab' di gern, du hast mi gern, da sein mer reich.

I bin halt a Spielma', ha' Lieder genua,
was brauch i denn da Geld?
Mei Schatzerl im Arm und die Fiedel dazua,
so fied'l i im durch die Welt.

Wie bist du so herzig, mei Schatzel du,
i kann deine Augen nit anschau'n genua.
Und's Grüberl im Kinn, und's Münderl so klein,
's kann keine schöner sein.

Drum geh' i des Sunntags allweil af'm Platz,
da wart' i a wengerl, dann kummt halt mei Schatz.
Sie lacht scho von Weitem übers ganze Gesicht,
ja so zwei wie wir zwei gibt's gleich nicht!
