Triplum
Diex! de chanter maintenant
Por quoi m’est talant pris,
Qu’au cuer ai un duel dont sui peris
Se cele que j’aim ne me soit confortans?
Et quant je remir et pens
A sa simplece
Et son semblant,
Son cler vis,
Ses ieuz dous regardans,
Il n’est mal qui me blece;
Por ce l’amera
Mes cuers, a son comant l’avra.
Or me doinst Diex que m’amor bien emploie!
Cele part vois, car tart m’est que la voie.

 

Motet
Chant d’oisiaus et fuelle et flors
Et tans joli
Mi font ramembrer d’amors,
Si que je ne pens aillors
Qu’a vos, amis.
Tant avés, ce m’est avis,
Biauté et valour et pris
Que vostre serai toudis
Sans nule mesproison.
Qui donrai je mes amors,
Douz amis,
S’a vos non?

Ja vers vos ne faussera
Mes cuers qui a vos s’otroie;
Por bien amer avrai joie
Ou ja nule ne l’avra.

 

Tenor: IN SECULUM
 

    Triplum
    God! Why am I seized
    By the desire to sing now,
    When I feel in my heart an ache from which I will perish
    If the woman I love does not comfort me?
    And when I recall and reflect
    On her sincerity
    And her countenance,
    Her bright face,
    The tender gaze in her eyes,
    No harm can injure me;
    So my heart will love her
    And be at her command.
    May God grant that my love be well placed!
    I am headed toward her, for I long to see her.


    Motet
    Birdsong and foliage and flowers
    And the joyful season
    Bring love to mind,
    So that I think of nothing else
    But you, beloved.
    It seems to me, you have such
    Beauty and worth and merit
    That I will always be yours,
    Rightfully.
    To whom shall I give my love,
    Sweet friend,
    If not to you?
    Never will my heart be untrue,
    For it is pledged to you;
    From loving well, I will have joy
    Or no woman ever will.
