Derfi di hebe

Derfi di hebe
Nur ganz fin
Derfi di hebe
Nur no eimal
Derfi di hebe
Ich bin ellei
Derfi di hebe
Esch’s verbi

Derfi di hebe, so richtig lang
Derfi di hebe, ich gib der alles
Derfi di hebe, so richtig lang
Derfi de hebe, ich gib der alles

PS: This also made me discover a whole new world of Swiss German and its dialects.

Thank you for stopping by

was
an old man
patient, kind
boxes of records strewn
all around the tiny room
framed photos on the walls
the smell of smoke
tapping his foot to the music
as I sat
and listened.
