Jeder wo a hingheat
Wo ois so is, wia sa se gheat
Und sunst is ned vü
Es woa nie ausgmocht
Daß des an wia uns wos ausmocht
Daß er gor no aufwocht
Mei Liagn und dei Lochn
De megn si und de wolln wos vonanand
Dei Liagn und mei Lochn
De megn si und de wolln heit wos vonanand
Mia wean uns a Nocht stöhn
Uns ned zu vü Frogn stön
Oba uns ganz vü dazöhn
Ohne a anzigs Wuat
Mia wean ganz stü sei
Richtig zoat und richtig wüd sei
Wean ois wos sunst ned gült sei
A paar Stund ganz weit fuat
Mei Liagn und dei Lochn
De megn si und de wolln wos vonanand
Dei Liagn und mei Lochn
De megn si und de wolln heit wos vonanand
Kennt sei wanns draußn hell wird
Daß des Lochn wieda eingfriat
Und des Liagn kurze Fiaß kriagt
Oba des is erscht muagn
Mei Liagn und dei Lochn
De megn si und de wolln wos vonanand
Dei Liagn und mei Lochn
De megn si und de wolln heit wos vonanand
The song "Liagn & Lochn" by Ostbahn Kurti & Die Chefpartie is a lighthearted and playful song about two people who are together and enjoying each other's company. The lyrics describe the feeling of being trapped in a certain place and finding solace in each other. There is a sense of rebelliousness in the lines "Daß er gor no aufwocht/Und auf amoi wos wü" which suggests the characters are carefree and spontaneous.
The chorus, "Mei Liagn und dei Lochn/De megn si und de wolln wos vonanand" is the main focal point of the song, highlighting the bond between the two characters. The use of "Liagn" and "Lochn" is a clever play on words, as "Liagn" means lying and "Lochn" means laughing, showing that they enjoy each other's company even when not being completely honest. The verse "Mia wean uns a Nocht stöhn/Uns ned zu vü Frogn stön/Oba uns ganz vü dazöhn" expresses the idea of completely giving into the moment and not worrying about the future or what others may think.
Overall, "Liagn & Lochn" is a fun and catchy song that celebrates the joy of being in the moment with someone you care about.

And the lying gets caught
Oba des is erscht muagn
But that's only tomorrow
