  2. i’ll write down, what i hear (a), translation to standard German (b) and English (c). rhymes are connected with {M}, and continuing.

    a 01 die zehn uhr mess is schon vorbei. {M}
    b 01 die zehn-uhr-messe ist schon vorbei.
    c 01 the ten-o’clock church is just over.

    a 02 die leut’ geh’n g’rad nåch haus’. {N}
    b 02 die leute gehen gerade nach hause.
    c 02 the people are right now going home.

    a 03 schwer wird ihm um’s herz dabei. {M}
    b 03 schwer wird ihm um das herz dabei.
    c 03 melancholy developes around his heart meanwhile.

    a 04 er schalt’ den ? aus. {N}
    b 04 er schaltet den ? aus.
    c 04 he switches the ? off.

    a 05 ?
    b 05 ?
    c 05 ?

    a 06 ?
    b 06 ?
    c 06 ?

    a 09 brauchst’ di’ nimmer weiter plåg’n. {Q}
    b 09 brauchst dich nicht mehr weiter [zu] plagen.
    c 09 don’t need [to] further bother.

    a 10 darauf geb’ i dir die hand. {R}
    b 10 darauf gebe ich die die hand.
    c 10 upon this i give you the hand[shake].

    a 11 ? {Q}
    b 11 ?
    c 11 ?

    a 12 ? den letzten ? {R}
    b 12 ? den letzten ?
    c 12 ? the last ?

    the blocks 01 – 04 and 09 – 12 are quite certain, as i can hear the whole text in 01 – 04, and at least the rhymes on 09 – 12.

    i don’ t understand enough of the middle part. it might be four blocks too, supporting the rhyme scheme, but it might also be only two or three blocks. to be on the safe side, i left enough space, and gave it four blocks too.

    in line 12, it probably ends with “stand” which would be profession. so the person, whom is sung about, might be the last of his profession, and he is switching off a device after a church service, while people go home. the singer guarantees something tho the person by a handshake, but ican’t say, what.

    the “å” is a written a, that is pronounced as “o”. this is typical for Austria and Bavaria. the bad quality of the record gives the possibility, that the singer is of Bohemian descent; at least he sounds a bit like Karel GOTT did, but not too much.

    hope, that helps.

    ceterum censeo “unit libertatem” esse delendam

  3. Das ganze klingt sehr “Ludwig Hirsch”ig für mich.
    Ist es glaube ich aber nicht. Zumindest wärs mir unbekannt.
