Subject: Literature

Folks,

Below is another text in a Lowlands Franconian variety of Germany,
apparently in the dialect of either Gladbach (Gläbbääk, Glèbèèk) or Neuss
(Nüß, Nuus), about a political (anti-Prussian) struggle in 1849.

I present it here in my attempt at a Limburgish transliteration.  You can
find the German-based version and the German translation here:

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron

Dè tsog der Glèbbèker Burgerweer
nao Nuës em jaor 1849

   "Jonges, hoolt dat broeët herop!
   On mar gau en de kaar gesjtop!
   Die burgerweer sjteet hai om maat
   On es to'm trekke al paraat.
   Dat reep en Glèbbèk ene bèkkesjbaas!
   Griep die vlent zech oet dem kaas.
   "Plaats haze sjeet ech huut dè Pruus!
   Wir vare mut voraasj no Nuus!"
   Ze treffe boete zech om maat:
   Dale! Wates on de haat.
   Op Nuisjtroate venge Viësje wier,
   Dat zèt os èeves dè sjtaffeterier.
   Frai wir welle maleke lèeve
   On kene penning sjtuër mie gèeve!
   Freiheit, Gleichheit! Republik!
   Wuëre wier maar die Pruse kwit."
   Van der tribuun do huët mer dat,
   Op d'r maat woer die gesat,
   On die luud mut kloare trakteert,
   On van M e c h e l rait animeert.
   Twaai mut roeë mutskes
   Klumde en d'r toeër;
   Um vuur die klok te trekke,
   Net op wol make dè pastoeër.
   Noe koame ze duur alle poate
   Em blauë kiel heraangesjoate.
   Die vlent, montoer on anger denge,
   Dat daaite ze en Nuus te venge.
   Dagluëner von de iezerbaan,
   Dè Hendrik holde die heraan.
   Die koame mut de sjup om ruk.
   Op klompe mènnige och noch vluk.
   On dè notaar heel noch en reed.
   "Zum Abmarsch!" woad dan kommandeert.
   Roeë bèndsjes, am hoot on um de been,
   Riek on èrm, ze lepe ongereen.
   Votwoarjuus dè letste man,
   Klom da baas op zien gespan;
   Noam noch mut twaai luëze ritter:
   Kauërts Waailern on Bussems Pitter.
   En kotte tied geng alles good.
   D'r ene meek dem angere moot.
   Dat ze kriege kleen da Pruus,
   Dat meke ze zech zelver wis.
   Wie ze noe voare en et Butger Lang,
   Soage ze Leberger uzel mut zang.
   Do repe die kreger: "Dat zend die kanon!"
   On bang on verwongert blieve ze sjton:
   "Allons enfants de la patrie,
   Dè bokseboam da halt net mië!"
   Zie repe hulp en uërer noeët
   On sjloge op die kaar mut broeët
   On riete oet no alle zieë;
   No kaar on pèëd kiek niemes mie.
   Èver och da vusjte trek
   Hot zech unuuslerwies versjrek.
   Zie sjtoave vot no alle zieë,
   Hulane vonge kene mieë.
   Koom als langs Melledonk zie woare,
   Loage ze zech al en die hoare.
   Wolle guk die sjenke aete,
   Die repoebliek woar al vergaete.
   So leep al vuur on no gants husj.
   Da en no'm angere en d'r busj.
   Die boks, die geng mut gronkies drieve.
   "Wuëre wier maar teheem geblieve!"
