Qui non sap esser chantaire
Language: Occitan
Qui no sap esser chantaire Laire Quant aug los vergiers sonar Clar E son per tot mesclat Prat E-l rozatz del matin s'espan Blan Sobre l'erba josta-l sauza. Non aus semblan ni vejaire Faire Q'eu l'am, ni l'aus desamar, Ar Q'en amor son drut intrat Fat E-il fais amador ab engan Van Cui Amors engann'e bauza. Non es reis ni emperaire Gaire Que l'aus cl mante! tochar Var, Ni far q'agues acatat Grat ; Ric me fai la noig en somnjan Can M'es vis q'e mos bratz l'enclauza. Lai m'irai el seu repaire, Laire, Em peril qom de passai' Mar ; Si de mi no-l pren pitat, Bat Fer freg. Las ! tan la vau pregan, Qan Qe ja de leis no m'en jauza ! Si no-m vol amar m'amia, Dia, Pos eu l'am, s'il m'amara Ja, Q'eu sui al seu mandamen Gen, E-il serai, si-m vol retener; Ver Li dirai, q'autres li menta.
