1 Pour l’amour de ma doulce amye

Guillaume Dufay (1400-1474)
Pour l’amour de ma doulce amye Ce rondelet voudray chanter, Et de bon cuer luy presenter, Affin qu’elle en soit plus jolye. Car je l’ay sur toutes choysie, A mon plaisir sans mal penser, Pour l’amour de ma doulce amye... Elle est belle, plaisant, et lye, Saige en maintieng et en parler. Je la veul servir et amer A mon pouvoir toute ma vie. Pour l’amour de ma doulce amye...	For the love of my sweet love I would like to sing this rondelet, And present it to her, with goodness of heart, That she may be more lovely for it. Since I have chosen her above all others, To my liking with no ill thoughts. For the love of my sweet love... She is beautiful, pleasant and lovely, Wise in bearing and in speech. I wish to serve her and love her All my life as well as I am able. For the love of my sweet love...
