English Lyrics Translation
MY LOVE IS A VENUS

My love is a venus
My love is slim
My love is prettier
Than any flower
My love is the fairest
Thze pruest in the country;
I am not praising
But telling the truth.

Excellent dear maiden
Who is so pure
Her cheeks blush so,
Her tiny teeth;
Her two cheerful eyes.
Her brows as gossamer
My heart would love her
If I knwe that I could.

My love courts
Like a shower of rain
Sometimes here
Sometimes there
But faithful and pure love
Only loves one
The one who loves many
Can be without one.
