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

De lieftallige, trouw al lang, Zing ik vrolijk een minnezang, Want de schone van mijn dromen Knikt mij lieflijk toe 'Heb mijn dank'. ... Als een zonnige bloemenschouw Glanst mijn honnepons ogenblauw, Fris, een rondje, bloeit haar mondje Als een bottende roos in dauw. Ach, zo diep voel ik liefdes wond! Al te liefelijk kust haar mond! Lacht zo knusjes, lokt met kusjes, Dat te beven mijn hart begon. ... Zulke wangetjes mooi lichtrood Heeft geen engeltje, klein of groot! Zat 'k vertrouw'lijk onophoud'lijk Bij die lieveling tot de dood! De lieftallige, trouw al lang, Zing ik vrolijk een minnezang, Want de schone van mijn dromen Knikt mij lieflijk toe 'Heb mijn dank'. ...
