lyrics
FORTUNE LAISSEZ MOY ma vie.
Puis que tu prins tous mes biens
Je te desclaire quíilz sont tiens.
Mets doncques fin ton envie.
Helas, níes t point assouvye
De tourmentier moy et les mien
Qui níont vers toy mesfaict en riens?
Míest doncques fin ton envie.
Helas, je fusse bien tíamye
Mais tu me traicte rudement
Et je te ayme parfaictement.
Par toy je fineray ma vie.
Fortune, let me have my life.
Since you want the delights
I declare them yours.
Put an end to your envy.
Alas, are you not yet satisfied
Having tormented me and mine
Who have not done you any harm?
Put an end to your envy.
Alas, I have been your friend
But you have treated me cruelly,
While I loved you completely.
Because of you I end my life.
Puis que tu prins tous mes biens
Je te desclaire quíilz sont tiens.
Mets doncques fin ton envie.
Helas, níes t point assouvye
De tourmentier moy et les mien
Qui níont vers toy mesfaict en riens?
Míest doncques fin ton envie.
Helas, je fusse bien tíamye
Mais tu me traicte rudement
Et je te ayme parfaictement.
Par toy je fineray ma vie.
Fortune, let me have my life.
Since you want the delights
I declare them yours.
Put an end to your envy.
Alas, are you not yet satisfied
Having tormented me and mine
Who have not done you any harm?
Put an end to your envy.
Alas, I have been your friend
But you have treated me cruelly,
While I loved you completely.
Because of you I end my life.
