Original text and translations

German text        Ich stund an einem morgen/       heimich an einem ort/       da het ich mich verborgen/       Ich hört klegliche wort/       von einem frewlen hübsch und fein/       sie sprach zu jrem buelen       es muß gescheiden sein.       2. Hertz lieb ich hab vernumen/       du wölst von hinnen schier/       wen wiltu wider kumen/       das soltu sagen mir/       nun merk mein feins lieb was ich sag/       mein zukunft thust mich fragen/       was weder stund noch tag.       3. Das frewlein weinet sere       Sein hertz was unmuts wol/       so gib mir weis und lere/       was ich mich halten sol/       für dich so setz ich al mein hab/       und wiltu hie bebleiben/       verzer dich iar und tag.       4. Das knab sprach aus seinem muete/       dein wil ich wol soüer/       ver zer ich dir dein guete/       ein iar wer bald hinfür/       darnach mus es gescheyden sein/       ich wil dich freundlich bitten/       setz deinen willen darein.       5. Das freulein schren laut worten/       wort yber alless leyd/       mich krenckin deine worte/       hertz lieb nit von mir scheide/       für dich setz ich gut und eer/       und solt ich mit dir ziehen/       kein weg wer mir zu ferr.       6. Da sprach der knab mit zuchten/       mein schatz ob allem gut/       ich wil dich freuntlich bitten/       schlag solchs aus deinem muet/       gedecht mer an die frerunde dein/       die dir kein arges trawen/       und telich bey dir sein.       7. Da kert er ir den rucken/       er sprach nit mer zu ir/       das freilen teth sich schmucken/       in einen winkel schier/       es weinet dz sie schier verging/       dis hat ein Schreiber gesungen/       wie es eim frewlen gieng.

English translation   I was standing one morning /       in a hidden place /       where I concealed myself/       I heard mournful words /       from a lovely maiden/       she spoke to her lover/       as he was parting from her.       2. My heart I have heard/       you are going to leave from here/       when will you return/       You should tell me that/       now my love what I say/       is that I ask of my future/       tell me the hour and the day.       3. The lady was weeping hard/       and her heart was full of woe/       Advice me and counsel me/       what should I think       for in you I put all that I have/       and are you going to stay/       or leaving for year and day.       4. The boy spoke:/       you know I am a soldier/       I will ruin your reputation/       a year goes fast/       therefore we must part/       I want to ask you kindly/       put your mind to rest.       5. The lady shouted loudly/       speaking hard words/       what you tell me makes me ill/       do not forsake me thus.       I will put you before goods and honor/       and I will go with you /       no road will be too hard for me.       6. There spoke the boy with courtesy /       my sweetheart that is good for nothing       I'll ask you please/       knock such thoughts out of your mind/       think on all your friends that you are leaving/       who think no ill of you/       and will stay with you daily.       7. And he turned his back on her/       and spoke no more to her/       the Lady did blow him a kiss/       from behind/       and her weeping ended/       And thus tells a poet/       how it was done.
