Zingen vel Ich dir a leid

                      Em    B7 Em

Em                          B7

Der fun bakumpt ehr rematis feller

B7                    Em
In die fees un in die hent
Rough translation: Sleep my child, sleep like you’re supposed to I’ll sing you a song about things you need to learn Soon you’ll learn about what is poor and what is rich The lovely palaces, the rich houses; the poor man builds them But who lives in them? Not he, but the rich man The poor man, he lives in a cellar. Dank moisture drips down the walls. From this he soon gets rheumatism in the feet and in the hands!
