Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Et jitt Saache, die behält mer nit;
un su jet han ich hück verschenk.
Wie dat kom? Ich weiss et nit;
doch ich sage dir, et wor nit falsch.
Mer han jewaat he vill ze lang,
un hück es unsere Dach.
Ich ston vör dir jrad wie ne kleine Fetz:

Kumm, ich schenk dir mi Hätz.
Du kanns et han. Ich sage:
Pass jot drop op!
Ich schenk dir mi Hätz.
Pass jot drop op!

Ding blaue Auge un ding lange Bein
woren et eeschte, wat ich soch.
Du häs jedaach, dat ich ne Macho ben.
Jetz weisst du: Et is nit wohr.
Vum Himmel holl´ ich dir de Stäne ´raf
un läge se op di Bett.

Hück Naach ben ich nit mi dä kleine Fetz.
Et is vill ze spät. Du häs et jetz allt lang.
Maach et bess dorus. Kind, ich ben e bessje bang.
Wie dat su off passeet: Op eimol bes du fott un ich allein.
Du häs mi Hätz in d´r Hand:

Pass jot drop op!
Kumm, ich schenk dir mi Hätz.
Du kanns et han. Ich sage:
Pass jot drop op!

Ich schenk dir mi Hätz.
Pass jo tdrop op!
