As performed by the Stellenbosch Madrigal Singers on 28 October 2016 in the United Church, Stellenbosch.

Lyrics (translated):
My lovely Lady, I want a song to sing
Under your window: this lancer is jolly fellow!
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.

Please listen to me, because I'm singing well
And I'm as fond of you as a Greek is of a capon!
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.

When I go hunting, I hunt with the falcon,
And I'll bring you a woodcock, as fat as a kidney
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.

I cannot tell you many elegant things,
I know nothing of Petrarch, nor the Fountain of Helicon
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.

If you'll love me I won't be lazy
I will sing to you all night long,
Don don don, diri diri don don don don.
