The love of the beloved is in [---] [---] body, while her chains are made of flower petals and her [---] are made of reeds, (and) while her small signet ring [on her finger] (and) a (lit.: her) lotus is in her hand. I will kiss her before all people. They shall learn of my love [(for) her]. Truly, it is she who has stolen my heart. When she looked at me, it was refreshing. (Pause sign: end of song)

Die Liebe der/zur Liebsten ist in [---] [---] Körper, während ihre Ketten aus Blütenblättern und ihre [---] aus Schilfrohr sind, (und) während ihr kleiner Siegelring [an ihrem Finger] (und) ein (wörtl.: ihr) Lotos in ihrer Hand ist. Ich werde sie vor allen Leuten küssen. Sie sollen von meiner Liebe [(zu) ihr] erfahren. Wahrlich, sie ist es, die mein Herz gestohlen hat. Als sie mich anblickte, war (es) erfrischend.
