by Pierre de Ronsard (1524 - 1585)

Je suis tellement langoureus
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Je suis tellement langoureus
Qu'au vray raconter je ne puis
Ny où je suis, ne qui je suis:
Chetif quiconqu' est amoureus.

J'ay pour mon hote nuict et jour
Dedans le cœur un fier esmoy,
Qui va exerceant dessus moy
Toutes les cruautez d'Amour:

Et ne puis me desenflammer
De celle qui m'occist à tort:
Car plus el' me donne la mort,
Plus je suis contraint de l'aymer.

Modernized form of the poem:

Je suis tellement langoureux
Qu'au vrai raconter je ne puis
ni où je suis, ne qui je suis:
Chétif quiconque est amoureux.

J'ai pour mon hôte nuit et jour
Dedans le coeur un fier émoi,
Qui va exerçant dessus moi
Toutes les cruautés d'Amour:

Et ne puis me désenflammer
De celle qui m'occit à tort:
Car plus el' me donne la mort,
Plus je suis contraint de l'aimer.
