L'autre d'antan
Language: Old French (Ancien français) 
Our translations:  ENG
L'autre d'antan l'autrier passa
Et en passant me trepassa
D'un regard forgé à Milan
Qui m'a mis en l'arriere ban
Tant mauvais brassin me brassa
    L'autre d'antan l'autrier passa.

Par tel façon me fricassa
Que de ses gaiges me cassa
Mais par dieu elle fist son dan
    L'autre d'antan l'autrier passa
    Et en passant me trepassa
    D'un regard forgé à Milan

Puis apres nostre amour cessa
Car onques puis qu'elle dansa
    L'autre d'antan l'autre d'antan
Je n'eus ne bon jour ne bon an
Tant de mal ennoy amassa
    L'autre d'antan l'autrier passa

L'autre d'antan l'autrier passa
Et en passant me trepassa
D'un regard forgé à Milan
Qui m'a mis en l'arriere ban
Tant mauvais brassin me brassa
    L'autre d'antan l'autrier passa.
