by Jan I Hertog van Brabant (1254 - 1294)

Eens meien morghens vroeghe
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Eens meien morgens vroege
Was ic upghestaan;
In een scoen boemgerdekine
Soudic spelen gaen.
Daar vant ic drie joncfrouwen staen,
Si waren so wale ghedaen,
Dene sanc voor, dander sanc na:
Harba lorifa, harba harba lorifa,
harba lorifa!
 
Doe ic versach dat scone cruut
In den boemgardekijn,
Ende ic verhoorde dat suete gheluut
Van den magheden fijn,
Doe verblide dat herte mijn,
Dat ic moeste singhen na:
Harba lorifa, harba harba lorifa,
Harba lorifa!
 
Doe groette ic die alrescoenste
die daer onder stont.
Ic liet mine arme al omme gaen
Doe ter selver stont;
Ic woudese cussen an haren mont;
Si sprac: "Laet staen, laet staen, laet staen".
Harba lorifa, harba harba lorifa,
Harba lorifa!
