Paroles et traduction Schelmish - Winder wie ist

Winder wie ist

Winder wie ist nû dîn kraft
Worden gar unsigehaft,
Sît der meie sînen schaft
Hat ûf dir verstochen
Vor den welden ûf dem plân
Siht man wunneclîchen stân
Liehtiu bluemel wolgetan
Der hân ich gebrochen

Gar besunder durch ein wunder
Solchez kunder ich vernam
Man und vrouwen, ir sult schouwen
In den ouwen âne scham
Wie des liehten meien schar
Stât bekleit in purper var
Jungen meid des nemet war
Belîbet unversprochen

Klaget niht den winter kalt
Ir sult sîn an vröuden balt
Vröut iuch, beide junc und alt,
Gein dem süezen meien
Torstè ich vor der vrouwen mîn,
Mit iu wollt ich vrolich sîn.
Nû twinget mich ein ander Pîn
Daz ich nîht mac greien

In der wîse ich nû grise
Also lîse sliche ich nâch
Unverborgen alle morgen
In den sorgen ich versmâh
Mîner vrouwen, diust so her:
Sie spricht, ich tuo it leit und ser
Zwâr ich dien ir niemer mèr;
Ez get an ein zweien

Gentle Breeze, How Is

Gentle breeze, how has your power
Become completely disagreeable,
Since our maker has removed his
Shaft from you
Before the woods on the plain
One sees delightful lovely
Bright flowers flourishing
Some of which I have picked

Entirely for a wonder
Such a marvel I have heard
Men and women, you should see
In the meadow without shame
How the lovely host of May
Stands dressed in purple
Young maidens, take note of this
Remain without reproach

Do not mourn the cold winter
You shall be bold in joy
Rejoice, both young and old,
Towards the sweet May
If I dared before my lady,
With you I would be merry.
Now another pain compels me
That I cannot reach out

So I thus become grey
So softly I sneak after
Not hidden every morning
In my anguish I pine
For my lady, who is so cruel:
She says I hurt and wrong her
Truly I shall never serve her;
It has come to an end
