Zwischen perg und tieffe tal \ da ligt ain freie strassen \ wer seinen půll nit haben mag \ der můß yn faren lassen. Between hill and valley deep there runs a public road, whoever can’t keep her lover must let him ride away. Far hin, far hin, du hast die wal \ ich kann mich dein wol maßen \ im jar sind noch vil langer tag \ glück ist in allen gassen. Ride on, ride on, the choice is yours, I can measure up to you; there is many a long day left in the year, and fortune waits at every turn.
