Laß los von der Welt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Laß los von der Welt,
Von dem Himmelszelt,
Von dem grünen Wald,
Liebchen kommt bald,
Nichts wirst du vermissen.
Wird dich Liebchen küssen:
Sage, singe, seufze ihr,
Tag und Nacht wie wehe mir,
Ach und wie gut ich ihr!

Let go of the world
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Let go of the world,
Of the canopy of heaven,
Of the green forest;
Beloved, come soon,
You shall lack nothing.
If your beloved kisses you:
Tell, sing, sigh to her,
How sore [my heart] is day and night,
Ah, and how fond I am of her!
