Oh, delightful May, you're in season now
Beautiful and green,
The birds are singing by day and night.
I like this very much without reservations.
I like to see the clear eyes
Of my brave dear one.
Her love stirs me, stimulates me.

There are many fine flowers in the field.
Who would count them?
How energetic grows the barley from the earth,
Leaves and plants give virtue now.
Oh, sound of my heart,
Make the dumb happy,
My love, send me a word of comfort.

You are the loveliest creature, my dear,
My whole life long
I'll be true to you till I die
My dear little one, you must comfort me
You've shot through my heart
You're a virgin, clean and pure
And I long for your consolation.

My royal jewel, whom I willingly watch,
Extinguish my grief.
Let me, poor servant, receive your comfort,
Clean feminine jewel, hear my admonishments,
Let me stand in your grace,
Then I'll truly serve you,
Delightful woman!
