about

by Josquin (c.1450-1521) /Francesco Spinacino (fl. 1507)

lyrics

Comment peult avoir joye,
Qui Fortune contient?
L’oysiau qui pert sa proye
De jeusne lui souvient :
Au boys sur la verdure
N’a point tout son desir :
De chanter il n’a cure
Qui vit en desplaisir.

How can he be joyful,
who is constrained by fortune?
The bird which loses its prey
thinks of fasting:
in the green woods
it has not its desire.
He cares not to sing
who lives in disappointment.
