I think you should! Below is my transcription of the Martinmas song, into
Limburgisch spelling system. I made just a few changes to your version.

By the way, is there also a German (or Dutch) translation available? That
way, I might be able to make a Limburgish version of this song, so show the
similarities between Lim. and the dialect of Mühlheim even more.

Regards,
Mathieu

PS: I have heard before that the dialects of the neighboring parts of
Germany have a lot in common with Limburgish. This counts especially for the
area of Selfkant, and the areas just over the border ("euver de päöl") near
the city of Venlo (Nettetal etc.). However, as far as I know, not much
dialect is spoken in those areas anymore.

SINTER MAETES VEUGELSJE

Sinter Maetes veugelsje
heet soe'n raod kapeugelsje.
Gevloge, gesjtove
wied, wied euver dae Rien,
wo die vette verkes sien.
Goed vrouw, geef oes wat!
Aal die hunnerkes lege wat!

Baoven in die vaesje
hangen die lange weuste.
Geeft oes die lange!
Laot die kotte hange!
Laot oes nee soe lang hie sjtaon!
Wei meuten en huuske widder gaon,
hie vandaen nao Aesse,
haolen en vettem blaesen;
hieveur, daoveur,
veur die rieke koupmansduer.

Die maad, die löp die trappen erop,
pak waal in dae neutezak,
pak waal nee d’rneve.
Se waed oes waal wat geve.
Gif wat, haul wat,
tegen't jaor wir wat.

Sinter Maetes sjtoepsjtat.
Sjmiet ‘n appel duar dat gat!
Sjmiet ‘n nee soe wiet,
sus vèlt hee in ‘n driet.
Sjmiet ‘n nee soe hat,
sus vèlt hee in ‘t gat!

Moes, moes, koem eroet!
Gif oes èppel oen neute!
Èppel oen neute siend soe goed
veur den aulen patsvoot!

Thanks, Mathieu!

But didn't you forget a few instances of "è"?

Below my update:

If there isn't, I understand all but the following words.  Perhaps someone
can help with those.

kapeugelsje (hood, crest?)
gesjtove
vaesje
blaesen
haul (fetch? bring?)
sjtoepsjtat
patsvoot

By the way, it would be neat if people who deal with Limburgish would
present to the Limburgish language community some of this sort of material
from obviously very closely related varieties of Germany.

Reinhard/Ron
