Mit Hand und Herzen Gott zum Gruß, Ihr lieben Leutchen alle! Der Spielmann kommt mit leichtem Fuß, Ob euch ein Lied gefalle. Die Fiedel streich' ich jederzeit Und blas' auch auf dem Rohre, Zum Lautenschlag bin ich bereit Vor wohlgeneigtem Ohre. Ich will euch jetzo frisch gewagt Etliche Stücklein singen, Und wenn's, Vielwerthen, euch behagt, Eins nach dem andern bringen. Denn Lieder und Schanzunen viel Und Aventiuren weiß ich, Mein Tagwerk ist Sang, Saitenspiel, Und Hunold Singuf heiß' ich.

With hand and heart may God greet you, You dear people all! The minstrel comes with a light step, To see if a song might please you. I play my fiddle anytime And also blow upon the pipe, I am prepared to play the lute Before a well-inclined ear. Bravely now would I sing Several little pieces for your, And, most-valued people, if it suits you, I would perform one after the other. For I know many songs And chansons and epics, My handiwork is singing, playing the strings, And my name is Hunold Singuf.
