Bey dir musz ich by Jacob Regnart — Lyrics
Bey dir musz ich mich aller Freuden maszen;
dann wo du bist, da thust du nichts als greinen.
Mein Unfall grosz musz ich all Tag beweinen.
Ach wer ich vor gefaren hin mein straszen;
so hett ich nit so vil der Angst und Peinen.
Mein Unfall grosz musz ich all Tag beweinen.
