Amoureux suy

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG

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

Language: English after the French (Français)

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.
