Ich trage meine Minne
Vor Wonne stumm
Im Herzen und im Sinne
Mit mir herum.
Ja, daß ich dich gefunden,
Du liebes Kind,
Das freut mich alle [Stunde]1,
Die mir beschieden sind.
[Ob]2 auch der Himmel trübe,
Kohlschwarz die Nacht,
Hell leuchtet meiner Liebe
Goldsonn'ge Pracht.
Und liegt [die]3 Welt in Sünden,
So tut mir's weh --
Die arge muß erblinden
Vor deiner Unschuld Schnee.

Io porto il mio amore
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Io porto il mio amore,
muto per lo stupore della voluttà,
sempre con me,
nel cuore nel pensiero.
Sì, che io ti abbia trovata,
bimba mia cara,
mi rallegra ogni giorno
che mi è destinato.
E se anche il cielo è turbato,
la notte nera come il carbone,
chiara splende la luce dorata
come il sole del mio amore.
E se fosse il mondo pieno di bugia
e peccato, mi dispiace,
i malvagi sarebbero accecati dalla neve abbagliante
del tuo candore.
