Amoureux suy, et me vient toute joye En esperant que vo bonté m'envoye Un doulx confort pour mon cuer resjouir D'un seul regart ; aultre rien ne desir Puisque d'amer m'avés en la voye. C'est trestout ce que demander voudroye, Cest' liesse que querir je savoie, Toutes les foys que je vous puis veir. Amoureux suy, et me vient toute joye En esperant que vo bonté m'envoye Un doulx confort pour mon cuer resjouir Car par ma foy, quelque part que je soye, Autre de vous amer je ne pouroye. Vous estes celle que adés veul servir. Vous estes tout mon joyeux souvenir, Hores et tousjours trés douce, simple et coye. Amoureux suy, et me vient toute joye En esperant que vo bonté m'envoye Un doulx confort pour mon cuer resjouir D'un seul regart ; aultre rien ne desir Puisque d'amer m'avés en la voye.

I am in love, and all joy comes to me As I hope that your goodness will send me Some sweet comfort to rejoice my heart With a single glance. Other than that I desire nothing Since you have me in your sights to love me. This is all I would ask This happiness which I knew I sought Every time that I am able to see you. I am in love, and all joy comes to me As I hope that your goodness will send me Some sweet comfort to rejoice my heart. For on my oath wherever I might be I could love no other but you You are the one that I always wish to serve You are the whole of my happiest memory Now and always most sweet, simple and modest. I am in love, and all joy comes to me As I hope that your goodness will send me Some sweet comfort to rejoice my heart With a single glance. Other than that I desire nothing Since you have me in your sights to love me.
