Luxembourgish term or phrase: Drei mang Welt an eng kleng leiw Suerg
Drei mang Welt an eng kleng leiw Suerg
Siew meng Rous dei
Och immer fir mech bleit
Siew mei Stier an der Nuecht

English translation:Turn my world....
Explanation:
First let me give you a literal 'word-by-word' translation:

Turn my world and a little nice care
Be my rose that
also always for me blossoms
Be my star in the night

There is a problem with the first 2 words 'Drei mang'. They are both NOT standard Luxembourgish words (I am a native speaker). If the first word is actually 'dréi', it means 'turn' (imperative singular). The closest word to 'mang' I can think of that makes sense is 'meng' (as in line 2), meaning 'my'.

Hope this helps
