Schwäbisches Volkslied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mei Mueter mag mi net, Und kein Schatz hann' i net, Ei warum schtärb i net, Was thur' i do? Geschtern ischt Kirchweih g'wä, Mi hot mer g'wis net g'seh, Denn mir ischt gar so weh, I tanz jo net. Laßt die drei Rösla steh', Die an dem Kreuzle blüh' Hent ihr des Mädle kennt, Des drunta leit?

My Mother loves me not
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
My Mother loves me not, and Sweetheart have I not, by all the world forgot, would I might die! Sunday to church I went, no eye on me was bent, tears in my eye are pent, would death were nigh! Where you three roses grow, plant me a cross below, did you the maiden know that sleeps below?
