On the weekend I went to a type of choirfest. Several traditional folk songs were performed. I found these entries in the program rather amusing:
Blaue Fensterl, greani Gater (Blue windows and green fences)
That's where the pretty girl lives that the young hunter has an eye on. He is mighty proud of his gun and powder and of his hunting hat.
Ei du mei liabe Schwoagrin (My dear alpine maiden)
Another song about a hunter who is wooing an alpine dairy maid. He boasts he has shot a chamois but he is really a little scared of the trip up the mountain to see her. She in turn sings a carefree yodler.
