O dearest of my heart I am astonished, it so happens That ceaselessly I am reminded Of your beauty and sweetness. Of good women you are the best As it is right I should tell you. O dearest of my heart I am astonished, it so happens. When I am annoyed or sad Sometimes, as it happens, Something happens to that feeling When thinking of your great worth. O dearest of my heart I am astonished, it so happens That ceaselessly I am reminded Of your beauty and sweetness.
