Mei Mutter mag mi net,
und koin Schatz han i net.
Oy! Warum stirb i net?
Was tu i do?
Gestern ischt Kirchweih gwe
mich hat mer gewiß net gse;
denn mir ischt gar so weh.
I tanj no net.
Laß die drei Rösle stehn
die dort am Kreuzweg blühn!
Hent ihr des Mädle kennt
das drunter leit?
My mother doesn't love me,
and I have no sweetheart
Wht don't I die?
What is there for me to do?
Yesterday I went to the fair.
I didn't see anyone I knew there.
I am miserable.
I can't dance.
Don't pick those 3 roses,
that bloom at the crossroads.
Did you know the girl
who lies under them?
