Tsou een meysken gaen om wijn [Erik Van Nevel - Currende Consort]
Tsou een meysken gaen om wijn, hout u canneken vaste, savons in de maneschijn by nachte, by nachte, hout u canneken proper, Dianneken, hout u canneken vaste.
Wat vants in haeren weghen staen, hout u canneken vaste, een fyn ghesel en dat was waer by nachte, by nachte, hout u canneken proper, Dianneken, hout u canneken vaste.
Den ruiter sprak dat meysken toe, hout u canneken vaste, oft sie sinen wille wou doen, by nachte, by nachte, hout u canneken vaste.
Hoe weygerich dat dat meysken was, hout u canneken vaste, hij swanktse neder in ’t groene gras, by nachte, by nachte, hout u canneken vaste.
Doen hij sijn willeken hadde gedaan, hout u canneken vaste, schoon lief gy moogt wel huiswaerts gaen by nachte, by nachte, hout u canneken vaste.
Die ons dit liedeken eerstmael sanck, hout u canneken vaste, sien bellekens en gaven geen geclanck by nachte, by nachte, hout u canneken vaste.

A girl had to go out to buy wine, - Hold on to your jug – In the evening in the moonlight, At night time, at night time, Keep your jug clean, little Diana, Hold on tight to your jug.
Who did she meet along the way, - Hold on to your jug – A fine fellow, that was the truth, At night time, at night time, Keep your jug clean, little Diana, Hold on tight to your jug.
The horseman asked the girl, - Hold on to your jug – Whether she was willing to do as he pleased, At night time, at night time, Keep your jug clean, little Diana, Hold on tight to your jug.
How unwilling was that girl, - Hold on to your jug – He threw her down in the green grass, At night time, at night time, Keep your jug clean, little Diana, Hold on tight to your jug.
After he had forced her to do as he pleased, - Hold on to your jug – Pretty girl, you can now go home, At night time, at night time, Keep your jug clean, little Diana, Hold on tight to your jug.
He who was first to sing this song, - Hold on to your jug – His little bells did not ring, At night time, at night time, Keep your jug clean, little Diana, Hold on tight to your jug.
