Was mir behagt,
What pleases me
Ist nur die muntre Jagd!

Eh noch Aurora pranget,
Before the Goddess of Dawn shines,
Eh sie sich an den Himmel wagt,
before she dares to appear in the sky
Hat dieser Pfeil schon angenehme Beut erlanget!
this arrow has already got fine booty!

Jagen ist die Lust der Götter,
Hunting is the gods' delight
Jagen steht den Helden an!
Hunting suits heroes!
Weichet, meiner Nymphen Spötter,
Out of the way, my mocking nymphs,
Weichet von Dianen Bahn!
Out of Diana's way.

Wie? schönste Göttin? wie?
What, most beautiful goddess,what?
Kennst du nicht mehr dein vormals halbes Leben?
Do you know no more what was once half your life?
Hast du nicht dem Endymion
Have you not to Endymion
In seiner sanften Ruh
in his gentle rest
So manchen Zuckerkuss gegeben?
given many sweet kisses?
Bist du denn, Schönste, nu
Are you, fairest, now
Von Liebesbanden frei?
free from love's bonds?
Und folgest nur der Jägerei?
And do you follow only the hunt?

Aria Tenor: Endymion

Willst du dich nicht mehr ergötzen
Will you no more take pleasure
An den Netzen,
in the snares
Die der Amor legt?
that Love sets?
Wo man auch, wenn man gefangen,
There once people are caught
Nach Verlangen,
by their desire
Lust und Lieb in Banden pflegt.
they care for love and pleasure in their bonds.

What is the correct pronunciation for Jesu in Bach's Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring?
Traditionally it is pronounced as in Latin (YEH-zoo), but as this text is not the original I see no problem with singing it however you see fit; I have even heard the first word changed to "Jesus," which does make more sense than using Latin. The original text is "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" and the movement is taken from Bach's cantata BWV 147 "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben."

What was the Latin inscription which Bach wrote at the beginning of his pieces?
Many (if not all) of Bach's compositions were prefaced by a statement reflecting his devotion to the God in whom he invested faith. I don't know the German text, but a comparable English translation would be "To God be the glory". Besides that, many of the music collections he composed began with a musical format called "Prelude"; among these are his famous French Suites and English Suites for keyboard instruments. Bach also prefaced many "fugues", another famous music format, for solo string instruments, keyboards, as well as vocal and instrumental groups, with "preludes". But Bach was not unlike many composers of his day, or of composers of prior or subsequent eras of music (even up to our time), in using the "prelude" to introduce many of his famous compositions.
