lyrics
Quant de vous seul je pers la veue
De qui tant chiere suis tenue
Mon mal lors si tres for m’assault
Qu’a peu que le cueur ne me fault
Tant suis de douleur es perdue.
Pour estre vostre devenue
Plus que nul qui soit soubz la nue,
Toute ma joie me default
Dont je voi bien qu je suis nue
De tous biens comme beste mue,
A qui de plus riens il ne chault;
Car je scais bien qu’estre me fault
Seulle de tous bien despourveue.
***
When I only lose sight of you,
You, by whom I am so cherished,
My grief, then, that assails me so strongly
That it would take little for my heart to fail,
So overcome with sorrow am I.
Because I have become yours,
More than anyone’s beneath heaven,
All my joy fails me
Then well do I see that I am stripped
Of all goods, like a shedding beast,
For whom nothing any longer is warming.
For well I know that I must be
Alone and unprovided for.

Dont je voi bien qu je suis nue
De tous biens comme beste mue,
A qui de plus riens il ne chault;

Seulle de tous bien despourveue.
