Hans Leo Hassler (1562–1612)
| Original Text | English Translation |
| Vor freuden will ich singen, weils mir jetzt thut gelingen, Dann die ich hab begert, die hat mir Gott beschert; der ich mich hab ergeben, mit ir in Freud zu leben. Sie hat mein Hertz besessen, kan ir er nicht vergessen. |
I’ll sing for joy because I have succeeded! For she whom I desired, has been granted me by God; I have committed to live with her in joy. She has taken my heart and I cannot forget her. |
