Lyrics
Kurzbeschreibung (Deutsch):
Ein fränkisches Kirchweihlied im Nürnberger Dialekt: ein witziger, herzwarmer Gassenhauer fürs Bierzelt. Zwei Akustikgitarren (6- & 12-Saiter) und Kontrabass tragen den Groove, dazu Handclaps. Gesungen von weiblicher Sopranstimme und männlichem Sänger im Wechsel, mit dreistimmigem Mitsing-Refrain. Inhalt: Schäuferla mit Kließ, „Drei im Weggla“ und ein Seidla Hebendanz – von der traditionellen Zubereitung bis zum Hochgenuss in der Wirtschaft. Ziel: sofortige Ohrwurm-Qualität, „bassd scho“-Vibes und Bankltanz.
Verse 1
Edzerdla is Kärwa, kumm nei ins Zäld,
die Blousn dröhnt halb Nämberch Wäld.
A Seidla Hebendanz, des bassd fei scho,

Short Description (English)
A Franconian (Nuremberg dialect) Kirchweih folk song: cheeky, heartfelt, and built for beer tents. Two acoustic guitars (6 & 12-string) plus upright bass drive the groove, with handclaps for lift. Vocals alternate between female soprano and a male lead, joining for a big sing-along chorus. The lyrics celebrate Schäuferla with dumplings, “three in a roll,” and a Hebendanz beer—from traditional roasting to joyful pub savoring. Aim: instant earworm, crowd shout-backs, and bench-dancing energy.
English translation:
Verse 1
Right now it’s fair time-come into the tent,
the brass band shakes half of Nuremberg.
A stein of Hebendanz - yeah, that fits just fine,
otherwise the nonsense starts up again.
Pre
The steam rolls up, the kitchen laughs-
does it fit? - fits just fine!
Chorus
Pork shoulder roast with dumplings-crackling crisp and hot!
Tender meat in gravy-tastes proper good, indeed.
A “three in a roll” later-cheers all around!
Sure thing, cheers! - a feast in the mouth!
Verse 2
The crackling snaps, the gravy’s brown,
in the inn’s back room-we feel at home.
The upright bass hums, the guitars ring fine,
Good heavens-this is how fair-time’s done.
Pre
The smell drifts in, the music plays-
does it fit? - fits just fine!
Chorus
Pork shoulder roast with dumplings - crackling crisp and hot!
Tender meat in gravy - tastes proper good, indeed.
A “three in a roll” later - cheers all around!
Sure thing, cheers! - a feast in the mouth!
Bridge
The pig sure didn’t die for nothing-
Cheers! - we eat well and give thanks-
Cheers! - another stein, that fits!
Final Chorus
Pork shoulder roast with dumplings - crackling crisp and hot!
Tender meat in gravy - tastes proper good, indeed.
A “three in a roll” later - cheers all around!
Nuremberg sings - tonight it grooves good and strong!
“does it fit?” - “fits just fine!” - Cheers!
