from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Ab plazen pessamen
Language: Provençal (Prouvençau) 
Ab plazen
Pessamen
Amoros
Ai cozen
Mal talen
Cossiros,
Tant quel ser no puesc durmir,
Ans torney e vuelf e vir
E dezir
Vezer l'alba.

Per trebalh
Que m'assalh
Ser e jorn,
Joys me falh,
Don nualh
Ab cor morn,
El ser dobla·m mo martir,
Que'en elh tenc tot mon albir,
E dezir
Vezer l'alba.

Mals sabers
Es, loncs sers
Pervuelhar
Ses plazers,
E jasers
Ses pauzar
E ben amars ses jauzir;
Per quel ser velhan sospir,
E dezir
Vezer l'alba.

A mon dan
Per semblan
Fa gran nueg,
Quar afan
N'ai trap gran
Et enueg,
Quar leis, qu'ieu am, non remir,
Ans pes, co m'en puesc aizir,
E dezir
Vezer l'alba.
