The Germans are masters of this genre. Nice accordion she's playing too and great recording quality.
 
Wenn´s über´dnocht ........is the title on You Tube.......now I get If and Over but dnocht is beyond me....or is it colloquial.......mein Deutsch ist schlecht.......which is probably wrong..........but hey I have enough trouble with English never mind self taught German :ch
 
Melissa Naschengweng lives in Kärnten, Austria. It probably is a regional dialect.

Ach so.....yes that will be it I picked my German up mainly based on Neider Sachsen Deutsch...around Hanover and down to the Harz Mountains.....when I visited Bayern and Oestereich(no umnlaut ! here) I had to retune and re-assess....Gruss Gott !

tis indeed. Nacht is high German. There are a lot more dialects in German than in English, and they are more extreme. I used to like a band from Cologne (BAP) who supplied a lyric sheet with their albums, featuring both the original lyrics in Kölsch and a translation into High German.
 
Don't know a thing about German dialect but I do notice Melissa is kinda easy on the eyes.
 
bit random and in the wrong country but when i saw this posting subject i kept thinking 'when's your d'olmio day' :D

i never did well in german at school and started but gave up during a level :?
 
After reading all this commentary I expected some weird dialect, but didn't notice anything at all odd, could even understand a bit of it from what I learned in school a very long time ago. (But of course it could be that the 80% I didn't really get was all dialectal oddities -- like it sounds like she's saying "kliene heine Welt"?) Looks like a CBA with helikon bass? If I could stand to watch it again (too saccharine for my blood sugar) I'd try to decode C or B griff.
 
Donn, does saccharine affect one's blood sugar? What with it being a sugar substitute... (sorry, I'm bored & picky because not allowed to do much)
Not that I disagree with you; I didn't get as far as listening to the lyrics first time round.
 
"Saccharine" used in that sense isn't supposed to refer to saccharin the artificial sweetener, but now that you mention it, probably not very caloric.

I was thrown off by the button layout, but I think while there is such a thing as a CBA with helikon bass doodads, I guess it would typically have a more or less complete stradella bass setup. This one's bass buttons do look more steirische, and I see the right side buttons don't always have to be laid out in that truncated-triangle arrangement.

Is that probably because the dialect is that of Southern Germany /Austria ,which is where most US Army bases are ...where....you guys grabbed the prettier parts . So the dialect is probably crept into the common usage of US taught German

....and as for saccharine........weyll, I just can stand a little....when it is contained in a nice dispenser... :roll: ... :b {} :ch

There are CBAs and PAs with Helikon bass but they are Stradella and the Helikons are limited note wise . I can`t see the original you tube vid to identify the box
 
Now...my second and third favorite Melissa Naschenweng youtube clips.





Melissa playing with her Papas band...

 
these songs of hers are quite relaxing..... :)

and her papa's band rocks.. {}

One more Melissa Naschenweng video...I think I heard the word steirische in there somewhere...

 
Yep, he said that the colour of her Steirische was very "girly".
She said "a boy wouldn't want to play on it"
He says "on you... oh on it....".... laugh laugh laugh...
Very sexist....
