by Oswald von Wolkenstein (c1377 - 1445)
Translation by Alfred Rottauscher (1888 - 1926)

Tanzlied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Mittelhochdeutsch 
Gar fröhlich so wollen wir singen,
springen hoch,
zu zweien
uns schön reihen
all in des Maien Loch,
mit Frechen
abbrechen
die Pfifferlinge roch,
ohn' Wenken
d'ran denken
wo mir die Zeit entfloch.
Wohin? Her wiederkehr',
Herzlieb, das ist mein Gehr'-
Du weißt es wohl,
wie du mich
und ich dich
ließ, mein höchster Hort!
Ich halt' stet mein Wort,
wurd' mir der Kranz,
o lieblicher Kranz von Rosental!
