Modernized spelling: Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen, ich fahr dahin mein Strassen im fremde Land da hin. Mein Freud ist mir genommen, die ich nit weiß bekommen, wo ich im Elend bin. Groß Leid muss ich jetzt tragen, das ich allein tu klagen dem liebsten Buhlen mein Ach Lieb, nun lass mich Armen im Herzen dein Erbarmen daß ich muss von dannen sein. Mein Trost ob allen Weiben, Dein tu ich ewig bleiben stets treu, der Ehren fromm. nun muss dich Gott bewahren, in aller Tugend sparen, bis daß ich wieder komm!

English translation (Translation published on the Web by the New World Renaissance Band) Innsbruck, I must leave you For I am traveling the road to a foreign land. (There,) deprived of my joy and knowing not how to get it back, I will be in misery. I am burdened with great sorrow which I can shed only through the one dearest to me. O my love, leave me not bereft of compassion in your heart that I must part from you. My comfort above all other women, I remain yours forever, always faithful, in true honor. And now, may God protect you, safe in virtue, till I return.
