Dutch text
Es sout ein meiskin halen wyn,
'snavens al so spade,
sy hat ein so wit hembdekin aen,
daerduer sach ick die lustelyke maene,
sy sach alhier, sy meint, sie war alleine,
sy hat ein so schoen zwart plaetskin staen
altuissen huer sneewitte beinen.
English translation
A maiden went to bring wine.
Make haste everyone.
She had only a werry white smallshirt on.
And through it You could see her lusty body,
She looked here,
she looked there
and she thought she was al alone.
She had a werry black place
between her snow white legs.
