Palästinalied

Álrêrst lébe ich mir werde,
Sît mîn sündic ouge siht
Daz here lant und ouch die erde,
Der man sô vil êren giht.
Ez ist geschehen, des ich ie bat:
ích bin komen an die stat,
Dâ got menischlîchen trat.
Schoeniu lant, rîch unde hêre,
Swaz ich der noch hân gesehen,
Sô bist dûs ir aller êre.
Waz ist wunders hie geschehen!
Daz ein magt ein kint gebar,
Hêre über áller engel schar,
Wáz daz niht ein wunder gar?
Hinnen vuor der sun ze helle,
Vón dem grábe dâ ínne lac.
Des wás der vater ie geselle
únd der geist, den nieman mac
Sunder scheiden, éz sî ein,
Sleht und ebener danne ein zein,
Als er Abrahâme erschein.

Song of the Pilgrims

Now I live in the world
Since my sinful eyes have seen
This holy land and ground
Where the people are so noble.
What I have always prayed for has happened:
I have come to the place
Where God walked as a man.
Beautiful lands, rich and illustrious,
Of which I have never seen more
You are the glory of all.
What a marvel has occurred here!
That a virgin bore a child,
Lord over all the hosts of angels,
Was that not an utter wonder?
From here, the Son descended to hell,
From the grave where he lay.
His Father was always his companion
And the Spirit, whom no one can
Separate, for he is one,
Smooth and even as a line,
As he appeared to Abraham.
