Der Holdseligen Sonder Wank Sing' ich fröhlichen Minnesang; Denn die [Reine]1, Die ich meine, Winkt mir lieblichen Habedank. Ach! bin inniglich Minnewund! Gar zu minniglich [Dankt]2 ihr Mund; Lacht so grüsslich, Lockt so küsslich, Daß mir's bebt in des Herzens Grund! Gleich der sonnigen Veilchenau' Glänzt der Wonnigen Augen Blau; Frisch und ründchen Blüht ihr Mündchen, Gleich der knospenden Ros' im Thau. Ihrer Wängelein Lichtes Roth Hat kein Engelein, [So mir]3 Gott ! Eia, säß' ich Unablässig Bei der Preißlichen bis zum Tod!
C. Loewe sets stanzas 1, 3, 2, 4, 1

A la més encisadora de ben segur canto una joiosa cançó d’amor; car la immaculada a la que em refereixo, em fa una adorable acció de gràcies. Ai, estic profundament malalt d’amor! La seva boca besa tan amorosament, saluda tan afectuosament, em sedueix tant amb besades, que tremolo fins al fons del cor! Com les violetes a la llum del sol resplendeixen els ulls blaus de la meva delitable; fresca i rodona es desclou la seva boqueta com una rosa poncella en el rou. La lluminosa vermellor de les seves galtes no la tenen ni els àngels, això ho sap Déu! Ah, si pogués romandre per sempre al costat de la dilecta fins a la mort!
