Und bist du erst mein ehlich Weib
 (Sung text for setting by J. Vesque von Püttlingen)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Und bist du erst mein ehlich Weib,
Dann bist du zu beneiden,
Dann lebst du in lauter Zeitvertreib,
In lauter Pläsier und Freuden.

Und wenn du schiltst und wenn du tobst,
Ich werd es geduldig leiden;
Doch wenn du meine Verse nicht lobst,
Laß ich mich von dir scheiden.
