Ce jour de lan voudray joye mener.
Chanter, danser, et mener chiere lie,
Pour maintenir la coutume jolye
Que tous amants sont tenus de garder.
Et pour certain tant me voudray poier
Que je puisse choisir nouvelle amie,
Ce jour de lan voudray joye mener…
A laquelle je puisse presenter
Cuer, corps et biens, sans faire despartie.
He, dieus d’amours, soyes de ma partie,
Que fortune sine me puist grever.
Ce jour de lan voudray joye mener...

This day of the year I wish to rejoice,
Sing, dance and be joyful,
To preserve the joyous custom
That all lovers are held to honor.
And for some, so greatly they tease me
That I might choose a new love,
This day of the year I wish to rejoice...
To whom I might present
Heart, body and possessions, without regret.
Oh, God of Love, stay with me,
That Fortune thus may not harm me.
This day of the year I wish to rejoice... |
