Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Ich trage meine Minne
Vor Wonne stumm
Im Herzen und im Sinne
Mit mir herum.
Ja, daß ich dich gefunden,
Du liebes Kind,
Das freut mich alle [Stunde]1,
Die mir beschieden sind.
[Ob]2 auch der Himmel trübe,
Kohlschwarz die Nacht,
Hell leuchtet meiner Liebe
Goldsonn'ge Pracht.
Und [liegt]3 [die]4 Welt in Sünden,
So tut mir's weh --
Die arge muß erblinden
Vor deiner Unschuld Schnee.

Geluk draag ik van ‘t minnen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch)
Geluk draag ik van ‘t minnen
Met stomme mond,
In ‘t hart en in mijn zinnen
Stil met me rond.
Ja, dat ‘k heb jou gevonden,
Mijn zonneschijn,
Verheugt mij al de dagen,
Die mij beschoren zijn.
En al is de hemel duister,
Koolzwart de nacht,
Hel licht mijn liefdes luister,
Goudstralende pracht.
En ligt ook de aard’ in zonden,
Het spijt me zeer,
De boosheid gaat ten onder,
Zó straalt jouw onschuld meer.
