ICh bit dich meydlein hab mich hold/
  Für silber und fürs rote gold/
  und für alles auff erden/
  laß dir nichts liebers werden/
  du liebst mir in dem hertzen mein/
  du solst allein die meine sein/

  ich will dein nit/
  ich mag dein nit/
  ich will dein nit/
  du bist ein alter greyse/
  es gfelt mir gar nit dein weyse/
  ich will dein nit/

  ach lieb ich bit/
  
  thu nit von mir gedencken/
  wann man mich schon verschwerzen wolt/

  ich will dir warlich schencken/
  vil silber und vil rotes gold/
  ach schönes meydlein hab mich hold.

English.png English translation

Oh maiden, I beseach you, love me.
I do not hold silver, nor gold,
nor anything on earth dearer than you.
In my hearth you love me
and you alone will be mine.

I will not be thine,
I will not have you,
I will not be thine
You are an old greybeard,
I do not like your singing.
I will not be thine.

Oh pleas love me I pray.

Do not think of me,
People already start to black my reputation.

I will surely give you
much silver and much red gold,
Oh lovely maiden love me.
