Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Slâfst du, friedel ziere?
Language: Mittelhochdeutsch 
»Slâfst du, friedel ziere?
man weckt uns leider schiere:
ein vogellîn sô wol getân
daz ist der linden an daz zwî gegân.«

»Ich was vil sanfte entslâfen:
nu rüefstu kint Wâfen.
liep âne leit mac niht gesîn.
swaz du gebiutst, daz leiste ich, friundin mîn.«

Diu frouwe begunde weinen.
»di rîtst und lâst mich eine.
wenne wílt du wider her zuo mir?
owê du füerst mîn fröide sament dir!«

Schläfst du noch mein Trauter?
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Mittelhochdeutsch 
"Schläfst du noch mein [Trauter]1?
Man weckt so bald und leider?
Ein schönes Vöglein tat wohl das,
das auf der Zweig der Linde niedersass."

Ich lag so sanft im Schlafe, 
nun rufst du, Kind: Erwache!
Lieb kan ja ohne Leid nich sein.
Was du befiehlst, das tu ich, Liebste mein.

Da fing sie an zu weinen:
"Du gehst, lässt mich alleine.
Wann kommst du wieder her zu mir?
Ach, meine Freude nummst du ja mit dir!"
