Moi Ron, moi Loaglaenders,


Leyve lüyd’,

„witten vrouens“ weten.  Daar valt my ’n Neddersassisch (Nedderdüytsch,
Platdüytsch) vertellen vun Ernst Moritz Arndt in.  Dat vindt Jy ünnen.  Tou’
n översetten in ’t Ingelsche hev ik upstünds nich dey tyd.  Villicht kan wen
anners dat douen, wen ’t verlangt wardt.

in ’t Düytsche land Mekelnborg-Vörpommern, in ’t norderne Vörpommern, nich
wyd af vun dey Poolsche grenss.

nit woar a'k beginnen mut. Onmeunig daenk doarveur.

Ik wol by dissen nog ne moal vroagen of dea aennere Loagalenders nit ok

Leaf wean, heanig an doon en goodgoan,
