Ich trage meine Minne

Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
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]3 [die]4 Welt in Sünden,
So tut mir's weh --
Die arge muß erblinden
Vor deiner Unschuld Schnee.

I bear my love
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
I bear my love
Silent with joy,
In my heart and in my mind
With me everywhere.
Yes, that I have found you,
Beloved one,
Will delight me every [hour]1
That has been granted to me.
[Though]2 the sky is gloomy,
And the night is as black as coal,
My love shines brightly,
With the splendor of sunny gold.
And although the world is full of sin,
Which makes me sad,
The evil must be blinded
By your innocence, pure as snow.
