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.

Voor de lieftallige zing ik vol overtuiging vrolijke minnezang, want de onschuldige die ik bedoel, wenkt mij een lieflijk bedankje toe. ... Als het zonnige violenveld glanst haar verrukkelijk ogenblauw, fris en rondjes bloeit haar mondje gelijk de ontluikende roos in de dauw. Ach, 'k ben inniglijk liefdeverwond, al te minnerig kust haar mond, lacht zo welkomend, lokt zo kusselijk, dat ik sidder in het diepst van mijn hart. ... Het lichte rood van haar wangetjes evenaart geen engeltje, bij god! Eia, zat ik maar onafgebroken bij de kostbare, tot aan de dood! Voor de lieftallige zing ik vol overtuiging vrolijke minnezang, want de onschuldige die ik bedoel, wenkt mij een lieflijk bedankje toe. ...
