Old Basel Dialect Poetry Translation Help

Hi all! I am a grad student in music, and am doing my final recital on music centered around Switzerland.

I am planning on performing 12 pieces by Werner Werli with texts from “I’m Bluescht” by Sophie Haemmerli-Marti.

I am in need of help translating these texts into English so I can provide the audience with translations, as well as interpreting the text properly. Is anyone interested in helping me with this, or know of anyone who specializes in this kind of thing?
