   • 2010, “Crémant an der Chamber”‎^[1]performed by Serge Tonnar:

     Jidderee schwätzt vun der Kris, ech spieren se awer net sou richteg.
     Vläicht läit dat och u menger Analys, do ass d’Ekonomie net grad sou wichteg.
     Mee wat ech haut um Radio héieren hunn, huet mech enges Bessere beléiert.
     De President vun der Chamber, dee war drun, a wat dee sot, dat ass einfach onerhéiert.

     Everybody’s talking about the crisis, but I don’t really feel it.
     Maybe it’s because of my analysis, in which the economy is not quite as important.
     But what I’ve heard today on the radio, has taught me otherwise.
     The president of parliament was on, and what he said, is simply outrageous.
