Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiria de tua pulchritudine, que me ledunt misere. Ah ! Mandaliet, mandaliet, min geselle chumet niet. Tui lucent oculi sicut solis radii, sicut splendor fulguris lucem donat tenebris. Ah ! Mandaliet, mandaliet, min geselle chumet niet. Vellet deus, vellent dii, quod mente proposui, ut eius virginea reserassem vincula. Ah ! Mandaliet, mandaliet, min geselle chumet niet.

Within my breast are many sighs over your beauty, which pain me sorely. Ah! Song of joy, song of joy, my beloved does not come. Your eyes shine like the rays of the sun, as a flash of lightning illuminates the darkness. Ah! Song of joy, song of joy, my beloved does not come. May God grant, may the gods grant what I have resolved in my mind, that I may loose the fetters of her virginity. Song of joy, song of joy, my beloved does not come.
