I be de Schacher Seppeli. I'm ganze Land bekannt.
Be frueener s'flottischt Buerschtli gsi, jetzt bin I e Vagant,
Bi z'friede wenni z'Nacht I'm Stroh, am Tag mis Schnaepsli ha.
Und wem der Herrgott Gsundheit schaenkt. s'isch alls was bruchsch,
Ja, ja.

S'gat uf der Waelt gar artig zue, I has scho maengisch gse.
Dass d'Luet waeg daem verfluechte Gaeld enand tueend schueli weh.
Wie schoen choent's doch hie unde si. Der Vogel ufem Baum
Er singt chum lueg dies Laendli a, di Schwyz isch doch en Traum.

S'isch maenge huet e riche Ma, doch morn isch s leider so,
Er stirbt und muess sis liebi Gaeld ja all's hie unde la.
Mer treit en ufe Chilehof grad naebe aermste Ma.
E jede muess a s'glich Ort hie. s'isch sicher wahr, ja, ja.

Wie gleitig got die Zit vorbi, es Joehrli und no eis.
Es duenkt eim, sett nid moegli si, bald ben I scho ne Greis.
Und chomm I de vor d'Himmelstuer, u wott ich ine go,
So rueefen I: Hei Peterus, der Schacher Sepp isch do.

Und chom I de vor d'Himmelstuer. stoht bereits de Petrur da
Er rueeft mer zue "Hei sali Sepp besch du jetzt au scho da
Chum nume ine, chum und leg dis Himmelsgwaendli a.
Die arme und verlass'ne Luet mueend's schoen I'm Hemmel ha".

Ok, let me try :P

Here goes:
========================================
My name is Schacher Seppeli. I'm known in the whole country.
Years ago I was the most adorable guy, nowadays I'm a vagabond.
I'm happy when I can sleep in straw during night, and drink grog during day.
And if god blesses you with healthiness, it's going to be all that you need.
Oh yes.

The world is a turbulent place. I've observed it many times.
People hurt each other just because of that damned money.
How beautiful could it be down here.
The bird on the tree sings "Look at your land, isn't Switzerland a dream?".

These days, there are many rich men.
Unfortunately, when a rich man dies, he can't take his money with him.
They carry him to the church yard and put him next to the poorest guy.
Eventually, everybody has to go to the same place. That's certainly true.
Oh yes.

How quickly does time pass by. One year, and then another one.
You'd think it wouldn't be possible, but soon I'm going to be an old man.
And when I get to the heavens gate, to enter
I'll shout "Hey Petrus, Schacher Sepp is here"

And when I get to the heavens gate, Petrus stands already there.
He shouts towards me "Hey, hello Sepp. So you're too already here.
Come in and put on your heaven's robe.
The poor and abandoned people must have it good in heaven."

Small footnote to xapadoo's excellent translation:

Seppli is diminutive for Joseph. Hence the hero is Joe Schacher.
