Liebst du um Schönheit,
O nicht mich liebe!
Liebe die Sonne,
Sie trägt ein gold'nes Haar!
Liebst du um Jugend,
O nicht mich liebe!
Liebe den Frühling,
Der jung ist jedes Jahr!
Liebst du um Schätze,
O nicht mich liebe.
Liebe die Meerfrau,
[Die]1 hat viel Perlen klar.
Liebst du um Liebe,
O ja, mich liebe!
Liebe mich immer,
Dich lieb' ich immerdar.
If you love for beauty,
Oh do not love me!
Love the sun,
It has gold hair!
If you love for youth,
Oh do not love me!
Love the spring-time
That is young each year!
If you love for wealth,
Oh do not love me!
Love the mermaid,
[Who]1 has many limpid pearls!
If you love for love,
Oh yes, love me!
Love me ... less
