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.

Porto el meu amor, mut de goig, al meu cor i al meu esperit, sempre amb mi per tot arreu. Sí, que t’hagi trobat, a tu, estimada criatura, m’alegra tots els dies que m’estan concedits. I encara que el cel estigui ennuvolat i la nit negra com el carbó, l’àuria esplendor com el sol del meu amor brilla lluminosa. I encara que el món resti en el pecat, cosa que m’omple de tristor, els malvats s’han de tornar cecs davant el teu candor, pur com la neu.
