Ostinato vo' seguire
Ostinato vo' seguire
La magnanima mia impresa.
Fa mi amor qual voi offesa
S'io dovesse ben morire.
Ostinato vo' seguire
La magnanima mia impresa.Steadfastly shall I pursue
My noble enterprise.
Love hurts me as much as you do,
So I might as well die.
Steadfastly shall I pursue
My noble enterprise.
Ces facheux sotz
Ces facheux sotz qui mesdisent d'aymer,
Et n'eurent de leur vie la cognoissance,
Je vous jure ma conscience
Qu'ilz ont grant tort d'ung tel plaisir blasmer.S'il est ainsi qu'il y ait de l'amer,
Ung peu de joye a bien telle puissance
Donner au cueur resjouyssance,
A ung moment peult tout mai consommer.Those tiresome fools who speak ill of love,
And never experience it in their lives,
I swear upon my conscience
That they are wrong to blame such a pleasure.If it does contain some bitterness,
A little joy has the power
To make the heart rejoice,
And can consume all suffering in an instant.
Fortune, laisse moy
Fortune, laisse moy la vie,
Puis que tu m'as osté les biens;
Je te desclaire qu'ilz sont tiens,
Metz doncques fin à ton envie!Helas, je croy, tu as envie
Sur m'ayme et aussi sur moy;
Helas, Cupido, prens esmoy
Et nous secours, las, je t'en pris.Ung jour en la chambre m'ayme
Y fuz je pour m'y resjouir;
D'ung vieillart par ardant desit
Me fut donné melencolie.Fortune, leave me my life,
Since you have taken my goods;
I declare that they are yours,
So bring your malice to an end!Alas, I believe you have designs
Against my love and myself;
Alas, Cupid, be moved to pity
And succour us, ah me, I beg.One day in my love's chamber
I went to rejoice;
As if an old man, by my burning desire,
I was beset by melancholy.______________________________________________ ______________________________________________
