When you go to the link

you can hear a nice example of Limburgish.
The lyrics are below, in Dutch spelling.

I am curious especially how much our Low Franconian friends from over the
border, i.e. in the (Lower) Rhineland of Germany, can understand of this
song when they hear it.

Have fun
Ingmar

Ich had al twee maedjes gezeen mit achter op allebei eine saxofoon
Witte bloes, blauw boks mit gael bieze en pas gepoetste sjoon
Nog boete 't dörp heurde ich al 't geretteketet van 'n trompet
Genog gewanjeld, hiej drinke veur os get

In de eerste sjtraot rook 't van wiet weg en ich daach mich verrek
hiej trek nag emes sondigse soep
Det leeg geträöt van die trombones trokke os nao veure euver de sjtoep
Biej de kerk waare natuurlik weer twee café's en 'n plein
En sjpeelde 'n fanfaar heel fijn:

Blaosmeziek op eine sjone zóndigmorge
Blaosmeziek bleust mich ómver
Mit toeters en bellen 'n sjoon verhaol vertelle
Zóndigmorge blaosmuziek blaos mich riek

Music and lyrics of: Gé Reinders
