Von den elben wirt entsen vil manic man.
From the elves I will depart, many a man.
So bin ich von grozer liebe entsen
So I am departed from great love.
Von der besten die ie man ze friunt gewan.
From the best that ever a man won as friend.
Wil si aber mich darumbe ven,
But if they turn against me for that reason,
Mir zunstaten sten, mac sied an rechen sich,
To harm me, let them atone,
Tuo des ich si bite: si fröut so sere mich,
I ask them: they rejoice so much over me,
Daz min lip vor wunne muoz zergên.
That my body must dissolve from joy.
Swenne ir liehten ougen so verkeren sich
When their bright eyes turn away like this,
Daz si mir aldurch min herze sen,
That they see me through my heart,
Swer da enzwischen danne stet und irret mich,
Whoever stands in between and confounds me,
Dem müeze al sin wunne gar zergên!
The little cat is all alone in its wonder!
Ich muoz vor ir sten unde warten der vröiden min
I must stand before her and await the joy of love.
Rehte also des tages diu kleinen vogellin.
Just like on that day, the little bird.
Wenne sol mir iemer liep geschen?
When will someone ever gift me love?
