- (dated) maid
ca. 1800, Traditional (lyrics and music), “Zu Arel op der Knippchen”, adapted to modern orthography:Ech hunn deréinscht ganz waarm vum kale Buer gedronk.
Hätt ech eng Schäppchen Alen, wär ech erëm um Spronk!
Gläich ass de Mann bekëmmert: Hei, Mod! Schwenk du e Glas!
An huel déi zënne Kännchen an zap vum beschte Faass!- I drank from the cold well just now when I felt so warm.
If I had a pint of the old wine, I’d be fine again!
At once the husband takes charge: Hey, maid! You rinse a glass!
And take the tin jug and tap from the best barrel!
