Gugeli, Gygeli Brotisbei! 1
Lüpfet's Füessli, lüpfet d'Bei!
s'chunnt e Zyt, s'chunnt e Tag,
wo me se nümme lüpfe mag.
Gygeli, Gygeli Brotisbei!
Gäll, mer göh no lang nit hei!
Gö nit hei bis's Hüendli chreiht,
und der Güggel Eier leit.
Gygeli, Gygeli Brotisbei!
D'Buebe füehre d'Meitli hei.
Wär nit tanzen und singe cha;
dä sell au nit Hochzyt ha!

1 "Bratenbein" (in the Aargauer dialect: Brotisbei) is the bone of the steak; this used to be given to the violin player who played while the steak itself was served.

Tanzliedchen
Language:
German
Geigelein, Geigelein, Brotenbein!
Hebt die Füße, hebt die Bein'!
Es kommt die Zeit, es kommt der Tag,
wo man nicht mehr sie heben mag.
Geigelein, Geigelein, Brotenbein!
Gelt, wir gehn noch lange nicht heim!
Gehn nicht heim bis Hündchen kräht
und der Hahn die Eier legt.
Geigelein, Geigelein, Brotenbein!
Die Buben führen die Mägdlein heim,
wer nicht tanzen und singen kann,
wird's auch nie zur Hochzeit bringen!
