(Chorus)
It is a jolly time,
O virgins,
just rejoice
you young ones.
(Baritone)
Oh, oh, oh,
I bloom all over,
already with virginal love
I burn all over,
new, new, new love
is by which I perish.
(Women)
My promise strengthens me,
my denial brings me down.
(Soprano and Boys)
Oh, oh, oh
I bloom all over
already with virginal love
I burn all over,
new, new, new love
is by which I perish.

(Baritone)
Oh, oh, oh,
I bloom all over,
already with virginal love
I burn all over,
new, new, new love
is by which I perish.
(Women)
My virginity plays with me,
my simplicity pushes me away.
(Soprano and Boys)
Oh, oh, oh,
I bloom all over,
now with virginal love
I burn all over,
new, new, new love It is by which I perish.
(Chorus)
I came, home,
with joy,
I came, come, beautiful,
I am already perishing.
(Baritone, Boys and Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh,
I bloom all over,
already with virginal love
I burn all over,
new, new, it is a new love, by which I perish.
