Scribal text (75va) Der vnghelarte hat ghe machet eyne senende wise da von lide ich groze not er ich dar nach singhe so ghe tån eyn done. Iz ist so harte. daz ich yn an mineme sanghe prise. sint ich iz bi minen tziten nie han ghe hort durch daz dunket iz mich scone. Nu uolghe ich ym durch daz her mich hat ghe bracht in diù leyde. Durch daz ich mannen vnt den wiben mùz mit phin vnder sceyde. Machen eyne senende hùre. Daz diù were scone vnt tùre. So wolde ich sprechen nu hat ghe ganghen miner kunsten rute kinder alle ich saghe vch daz hi ist diser senende claghe sùze lute.

Normalized MHG text Der Ungelârte hat gemachet eine senende wîse, dâvon lîde ich grôze nôt, er ich dârnach singe sô getân ein dône, Ez ist sô harte, daz ich an mînem sange prîse; sint ich ez bî mînen zîten nie hân gehôrt, durch daz dunket ez mich schône, Nu volge im durch daz er mich hat gebraht in diu leide, durch daz ich mannen unt den wîben muoz mit pîn underscheide machen eine senende hiure, daz diu wære schœne unt tiure; sô wolde ich sprechen: nu hat gegangen mîner künsten rûte: kinder alle, ich sage iu, daz hie ist diser senenden klage sueze lûte.

Normalized MLG text Dê Unghelaârde heft ghemaket êne senende wîse. dar van lîde ik grôte nôt, êr ik dar nâch singhe sô ghedân ên dône. it is sô harde, dat ik en an mîneme sanghe prîse. sint ik it bî mînen tîden nê hân ghehô'rt, dôrch dat dunket it mî schône. nû volghe ik em, dorch dat he mî heft ghebrâcht în dê lêde dorch dat ik mannen und den wîven môt mit pîn [ân] underschêde maken êne senede hûre, dat dê wêre schône unde dûre, sô wolde ik spreken: 'nû heft gheghanghen mîner kunste rûde'. kinder al, ik segge û dat: 'hîr is deser senede[n] klaghe sôte lûde'. (Moser 1965)

English translation The unlearned one fashioned a longing melody which made me suffer greatly before I had repeated a single note. It is a hard thing to praise him in my own song since in my own time never have I heard any that I thought so fair. Now I follow him who brought me to this sorrow where with pains I explain to men and women what it is to make a longing these days that is beautiful and precious. [Instead] I wanted to say: Now, by the wand of my art I tell you my children, here is the sweet sound of the longing plaint! Translation by Richard Mix
