New version:
The Palästinalied (“Palestine Song“, also known as Kreuzlied “Song of the Cross“) is a song written in the early 13th century by Walther von der Vogelweide, the most celebrated lyric poet of Middle High German literature. It is one of the few songs by Walther for which a melody has survived.
I tried to translate it as good as possible, but it was sometimes hard to translate those old medieval meanings and the version of this song is sometimes a bit different from the lyrics on Wikipedia. I hope you´ll still enjoy it!
The first line is Middle High German, the second modern German and on the bottom the English translation as always.
