      En has du enge jaue Vrönk, ne jaue Kamerad,
      Däm et Läve net su fluppe wellt en leever kriescht wie laacht,
      Sach dann aa däm: Hott ren der Mott, hott voll en zeech dich, Mann!
      Bei däm do setzt nühs angesch drop, dä moss eng Mockel hann!
      And if you have a good friend, a good mate of yours,
      For whom life doesn't quite work out and who rather cries than laughs,
      Then tell him: Take heart, keep up, and show yourself!
      For him nothing else will help, he needs to find a chubby girl.
