(Can we date this quote?), Traditional (lyrics and music), “Dä hellije Zint Määtes”, a popular song for St. Martin's Day when the children go round singing for sweets:

Here lives a rich man, who can give us a lot.
 A lot he shall give, long he shall live!

From Middle High German līht, from Proto-Germanic *linhtaz. The form shows shortening before -ht followed by later lengthening in the same position (cf. the same in Luxembourgish liicht). The Colognian form leich is probably influenced by Standard German (reinforced by analogy with words where Colognian has -ei- for other Ripuarian -ee-, from Middle High German -ei-).

From Old High German wrēd(e), northwestern form of reid, from Proto-Germanic *wraiþaz (originally “twisted, bent”, figuratively “hostile, angry”). Cognate with Dutch wreed, English wroth. The attested wrēde could stand for *wreid, but the modern form seems to confirm an irregular early monophthong in this word.
The initial fr- < wr- is regular. Modern dialects usually have r-, but this is a fairly recent development as evidenced by the Middle High German records as well as the fact that fr- remains where there is no Standard German cognate. Compare rieve, but frequentative fribbele, both from the root of Proto-Germanic *wrībaną.

(of food and drink) tart, sharp to the taste, bitter or sour

(of persons) standoffish, aloof, unkind, callous

From Old High German kurt, from Proto-West Germanic *kurt, from Latin curtus. The word was borrowed around the time when the High German consonant shift ceased to be active, which explains the Old High German doublets kurt and kurz. The fact that within Central Franconian the t-form is northern, may imply that it has been reinforced by Low Franconian and Low German influence.

Och, fröhter hätte mer us jeschammp, met su nem kurte Kleedche op de Stroß ze john!

Oh, in my day we would have been ashamed to go outside in such a short dress!

Immediately comparable with Dutch blak (“bald, flat”) and thus possibly an unshifted form. Further probably related with German blecken (“to show one's teeth”), Dutch blaken (“to glow, blaze”), and hence with the root of English bleak, blank.
