Italian text <1> A lieta vita amor c'in vita Fa la la la la la fa la la la. Chi gior brama se di cor ama donerá il core a un tal signore. Fa la la la la la fa la la la. <2> Hor lieta homai scacciando i guai Fa la la la la la fa la la la. Quanto ci resta viviamo in festa e diam l'honore a un tal signore. Fa la la la la la fa la la la. <3> Chi a lui non crede Privo è di fede. Fa la la la la la fa la la la. Onde haver merta Contra se aperta L'ira e'l furore D'un tal Signore. Fa la la la la la fa la la la. <4> Ne fuggir giova Ch'ogli ognun trova: Fa la la la la la fa la la la. Veloci ha l'ali E foco e strali. Dunque s'adore Un tal Signore.

German text In dir ist Freude, in allem Leide, o du süßer Jesu Christ! durch dich wir haben himmlische Gaben, du der wahre Heiland bist. Hilfest von Schanden, rettest von Banden; wer dir vertrauet, hat wohl gebauet, wird ewig bleiben. Halleluja. Zu deiner Güte steht unser G'müte. An dir wir kleben in Tod und Leben, nichts kann uns scheiden. Halleluja.
