Text

Triplum
Quant se depart li jolis tans,
Que froidure revient,
Qu’oisel laissent leur chant,
Adonc me vient
Si grant
Talent
De chanter que faire un chant me couvient,
Quant de ma dame me souvient,
Qui mon cuer en joie tient.
Ja de li ne partirai,
Ains la servirai,
Et serai
Pour li jolis tant com je vivrai,
Car j’ai
Si tres grant deduit,
Quant je i pens jour et nuit,
Que de tant me puis je bien vanter
Que trop tart commenchai a amer.

 

Motet
Hé! cuer joli, trop m’avés laissié en dolour,
Dont ja n’istrai
A nul jour,
Bien sai!
Hé, Diex! dusqu’adonc que je vous ravrai?
Trop sui marie
De vou compaignie
Que je n’ai.
Biaus sire Diex, quant vous verrai?
Trop m’est tart
Que je vous revoie, se Diex me gart!
Jesus vous ramaint
Et si saint!
U je morrai a ce mot:
E! e! o! biaus dous amis, ore demorés vous tropl

 

Tenor: IN SECULUM

    Triplum
    When the joyful season ends,
    As cold returns
    And birds leave off their singing,
    Then I am stirred
    By such a great
    Desire
    To sing that I must compose a song,
    For I recall my lady,
    Who keeps my heart joyful.
    Never will I leave her;
    Rather, I will serve her
    And will be
    Joyful for her as long as I live,
    For I have
    Such great delight,
    When I think of her day and night,
    That this much I can claim indeed:
    I began to love too late.


    Motet
    Oh, tender heart! You have left me in such woe,
    From which I will never emerge,
    Ever,
    I am sure!
    Oh, God! When will I have you again?
    I am so terribly sad
    For I do not have
    Your company.
    Dear Lord God, when will I see you again?
    I am so impatient
    To see you again, so help me God!
    May Jesus and His saints
    Keep you!
    Or I will die singing this song:
    Ah! ah! oh! Dear sweet friend, you stay away too long.
