Mi Götti (Hämmerli-Marti, set by J. Lauber) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Mi Götti isch en grosse Ma,
Er chunt fast a der Türena,
Und het e Bart - chum lueg und gschau's -
So prächtig wie de Sämichlaus!
 
Mi Götti isch en glehrte Ma,
's git nüt, woner nid wüsse cha,
Er lehrt di gross' und chline Lüt
Und macht no mänge Dumme gschidt!
 
Mi Götti isch en guete Ma,
Das stoht em no am besten a,
Er isch so luter wie ne Schib
Und gäb eim 's Hömmli ab em Lib!
