Dear Lowland Friends,

You can hear the song "Dat du mien Leefsten büst" the first stanza and the
second stanza:

http://www.blancke-trio.de/

I think there are several varionations of the lyric of this songs. I don't
from where this song is originated. Please adivse where ist the original
place.

Hartlich Groten,

Yasuji Waki, ut Japan

The version that Mr. Strunk submitted is indeed the version I know of this
song - Looks like there was a verse left out though; before the third verse
"Wat schrifft he denn....." is where I remember the verse " |:Dat is een
Brief van de Kieler Post:| dey twee un twining Penning kost. Ziru......."

Again, sorry for the poor rendition of the dialect - going by memory here.

BTW - I got this quite a while ago on tape (actually someone copied it for
me), is it available on CD?!

Hier nu de text nao Wader (met de schrievwies van de CD):
Wat in klammern steiht kömmt van mi.
Ik mott daotou seggen dat he dat vüel beter utspreken deit as me nao den
beeten geelen text ünner vermoden wör. De Lüe de den text upschreven hebt,
kunnen
woll nich so good platt.

denn dar an miene Dör" heten...)
as wenns de Düwel sülber wär?
Ziru-, Ziru-Zirallalla, ziru-ziru-zira.

|:Wat schrifft he denn, mien leve Fritz:|

Ziru-, Ziru-Zirallalla, ziru-ziru-zira.

Ziru-, Ziru-Zirallalla, ziru-ziru-zira.

Guten Tag, guten Tag, der Herr Papa,
seid ihr denn auch schon wieder da?
Es freut mich sehr, Sie hier zu sehn',

So fährt man keinen Burschen an!
Den ganzen Tag hab ich studiert
und abends auch noch kommersiert.

Ziru-, Ziru-Zirallalla, ziru-ziru-zira.

Zwei Freunde hatten sich entzweit
und forderten sich auf zum Streit,
ich aber lud sie in mein Haus
und gab dann den Versöhnungsschmaus.

|:Von dien Versöhnung schwieg man still,:|
ich will wohl weten, wat ick will. (Sull woll "Ick will woll weten"

Ziru-, Ziru-Zirallalla, ziru-ziru-zira.

Ziru-, Ziru-Zirallalla, ziru-ziru-zira.

|:Gott segne diene studia,:|
ut di ward nix, halleluja!
Ziru-, Ziru-Zirallalla, ziru-ziru-zira.

Deit mi leed, apatt ik hev vanaovend kien tied to'n översetten mehr.
Villicht kunn dat je een van ink daon!

Beste gröten!

Thanks.  That's an interesting redition.

What bothers me about most renditions is that they make the song sound like
some sort of church hymn or lullaby.  People seem to forget that this is a
love song with a "naughty" proposition.

I'm not sure anyone knows, but I'll do a bit of rummaging in books in hopes
of finding some information.  Perhaps someone else knows the answer and can
spare me the work.
