Eens meien morghens vroeghe
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Eens meien morgens vroege
Was ic upghestaan;
In een scoen boemgerdekine
Soudic spelen gaen.
Daar vant ic drie joncfrouwen staen,
Si waren so wale ghedaen,
Dene sanc voor, dander sanc na:
Harba lorifa, harba harba lorifa,
harba lorifa!
 
Doe ic versach dat scone cruut
In den boemgardekijn,
Ende ic verhoorde dat suete gheluut
Van den magheden fijn,
Doe verblide dat herte mijn,
Dat ic moeste singhen na:
Harba lorifa, harba harba lorifa,
Harba lorifa!
 
Doe groette ic die alrescoenste
die daer onder stont.
Ic liet mine arme al omme gaen
Doe ter selver stont;
Ic woudese cussen an haren mont;
Si sprac: "Laet staen, laet staen, laet staen".
Harba lorifa, harba harba lorifa,
Harba lorifa!

Herba lori fa
 (Sung text for setting by F. Mottl)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Dutch (Nederlands) 
Eines Maienmorgens fruh
stand ich auf und ging
einem schönen Garten zu,
der wonnig mich umfing.
Da fand ich drei Jungfrau'n steh'n,
die eine sang vor, die andere nach: 
Herba lori fa! Herba lori fa! Herba lori fa!

Als ich sah das schöne Kraut,
das im Gärtlein war,
und hörte solchen süßen Laut
von den Mägdlein klar,
freudig ward das Herze mein,
dass ich musste stimmen ein:
Herba lori fa! Herba lori fa! Herba lori fa!

Die Allerschönste grüßt' ich schön,
die darunter stund,
die Arme ließ ich um sie geh'n
zu derselben Stund'.
Küssen wollt' ich ihr den Mund.
Sie sprach: Lasst ab, lasst ab, lasst ab!
Herba lori fa! Herba lori fa! Herba lori fa!
