Could you understand? THAT was Trierisch! Maybe you could use a bit of translation help. Happy to oblige.
Translated loosely:
Ladies and
Gentlemen! We extend a warm welcome to you and are delighted you’re visiting us
in Trier. There are lots of things to see here that you won’t find anywhere
else. Trier, Germany’s oldest city, was founded by the Romans, and they brought
the city fame and fortune. Every building has its own story to tell. We hope
you enjoy yourselves here as you walk through our lovely city and discover
things that point to our 2000 years of history.
We wish to
thank Mrs. Mahringer, who gave us the text in Trierisch.

Music
For
the last 15 years, THE cult band in Trier that brings in enthusiastic
audiences, young and old alike, sings in Trierisch. The songs are full of
verve, the texts memorable, reflecting the bond of the people to Germany’s
oldest city. Whoever’s from Trier or knows Trier well knows exactly who we’re
talking about.: the Leiendecker Bloas!
