This a-cappella 4-voice version uses three altos and one bass, a cappella. It explores a couple of alternative modes for the theme: Octatonic and Dorian.
Singing of folia this old tune repeats all day
and even in the new Octatonic mode
we can sing folia all the day long in this five time
and we sing it in Octatonic mode
madness all is madness while we're singing of la folia
and in five time and Octatonic mode
can't leave off la folia it will drive me round the bend soon
and I'll shortly change to some other mode
Sing it in the Dorian sing it in the Dorian
oh I love the Dorian it makes me dream on less

A "circle Dance", this performance from December, 2010 is The Vocal Art Ensemble's interpretation of what it might have looked like when it was performed by the pilgrims who had come to visit the black virgin statue at the monestary.

performed here by the dwsChorale (multitracking one-man choir)
Lyrics (English translation below)
Mit Lust tret ich an diesen Tanz, ich hoff,
mir werd ein schöner Kranz
von einem schön Jungfräuelein
darum will ich ihr eigen sein.
So tret ich hie auf einen Stein:
Gott grüss mirs zart Jungfräuelein!
Und grüss euch Gott allsamt geleich,
sie seien arm oder reich,
Gott grüss euch all in einer G’mein,
darzu auch die klein!
So ich ein grüss, die ander nit,
so wär ich kein rechter Singer nit!
Right pleased am I to join this Dance, I hope
a beautiful young maiden will give me a garland
Then I will be her own
So I step up here upon a stone
Tender maiden may God greet you
and may God greet all here the same,
be they poor or rich
God greet everyone together here,
even the little ones!
Because if I greet one and not the other,
I would not be a true singer! less
