lyrics
Amours, amours trop me fiers de tes dars,
Ne say se c'est d'arbarlestes ou de arcz.
Mais de douleur me sens au vif setainct,
Et croy, se brief n'est mon grief mal estainct;
Oultre m'en voys par telz creulz souldars.
Car en tout temps d'un ardent feu me ars
Par quoyne puis durer en nul les pars,
Tant ay de gref dont ne suis d'ame plaint
Dy moy pourquoy telz tourmens me depars
Ou que l'ame du corps ne me depars.
Sans que aye le cueur d'angoisses sy contrainct
Que a paine say, tant suis d'ennuy estrainct,
S'il est entier, ou s'en au fait deux pars.
***
Love, love, you oppose me too much with your arrows.
I know not if they are from longbows or crossbows,
but feel myself stabbed to the quick with pain
And I believe that if I am not soon relieved of this agony
I will be killed by these cruel mercenaries.
For at every moment I am burning with a flaming fire,
which I cannot survive at all,
such do I suffer from the grief filling my soul.
Tell me why you ruin me with such torments,
or why my soul is not yet parted from my body,
let alone having my heart so pressed by anguish
That I hardly know (so badly am I gripped by vexation)
if it is whole, or if it has been cut in two.
Ne say se c'est d'arbarlestes ou de arcz.
Mais de douleur me sens au vif setainct,
Et croy, se brief n'est mon grief mal estainct;
Oultre m'en voys par telz creulz souldars.
Car en tout temps d'un ardent feu me ars
Par quoyne puis durer en nul les pars,
Tant ay de gref dont ne suis d'ame plaint
Dy moy pourquoy telz tourmens me depars
Ou que l'ame du corps ne me depars.
Sans que aye le cueur d'angoisses sy contrainct
Que a paine say, tant suis d'ennuy estrainct,
S'il est entier, ou s'en au fait deux pars.
