Original text and translations

English text

1. My lovely wanton Jewel,
 To me at once both kind alas and cruel.
 Fa la la.
 My hopeless words torments me,
 And with her lips again straightway contents me.
 Fa la la.

2. If this you do to kill me,
 Say, cruel nymph, why kiss not you then still me.
 Fa la la.
 So shall you ease my crying,
 And I could never wish a sweeter dying.
 Fa la la.
