Andre beten zur Madonne,

Schönste Sonne unter den Mädchen,
Schönstes Mädchen unter der Sonne!

Some to Mary bend the knee
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Some to Mary bend the knee,
Others unto Paul and Peter,
I, however, I will worship,
Sun of beauty, only thee.

Kiss me, love me, dearest one,
Be thou gracious, show me favor,
Fairest sun among all maidens,
Fairest maiden under sun.
