(Baritone and Chorus)               In my heart

Circa mea pectora                   In my heart
multa sunt suspiria                 there are many sighs
de tua pulchritudine,               for your beauty,
que me ledunt misere.               which wound me sorely. Ah!

Manda liet,                         Mandaliet,
Manda liet                          mandaliet,
min geselle                         my lover
chumet niet.                        does not come.

Tui lucent oculi                    Your eyes shine
sicut solis radii,                  like the rays of the sun,
sicut splendor fulguris             like the flashing of lightening
lucem donat tenebris.               which brightens the darkness. Ah!

Manda liet                          Mandaliet,
Manda liet,                         mandaliet,
min geselle                         my lover
chumet niet.                        does not come.

Vellet deus, vallent dii            May God grant, may the gods grant
quod mente proposui:                what I have in mind:
ut eius virginea                    that I may loose
reserassem vincula.                 the chains of her virginity. Ah!

Manda liet,                         Mandaliet,
Manda liet,                         mandaliet,
min geselle                         my lover
chumet niet.                        does not come.
