Hi leenia,
German wikipedia translation
No literal translation though, "hold" is an old fashioned term for pretty, good-looking, graceful etc.; "wolle" is somthing like "he should will" in a more literal sense
A more literal translation of the german version could be: "he/she should bow gracefully to the virgin (Mary)".
