"True Love"
A song about young love.

lyrics

Þǣr is mæġden on mīnre ġemynde
and iċ mæġ āblinnan þenċende be hire

Iċ sceal frecan bēon,
ġewinnan hire heortan
Iċ ne mæġ hildatan bēon,
nā, nā, nā, hnesce heortan for mē

Iċ ġeorne wille hīe,
hēo is swā scȳne
ealle mīne frēondas secgaþ mē
þæt iċ eom dol.
Nā, nā, nā, iċ neom dol.

Comment:
'hire' should be 'him'.
'hīe' should be 'hit'
'hēo' should be 'hit'
because 'mæġden' is a neuter noun not feminine.

Translation:
There is a girl on my mind,
and I can't stop thinking about her.

I must be a hero,
to win her heart,
I can't be a coward.
no, no, no, weak heart for me.

I really want her,
she is so sheen (beautiful)
all my friends tell me that
I am foolish.
No, no, no, I am not foolish.
