Il a aujourd’hui un mois, Que mon ami s’en alla. Mon cœur demeure morne et coi. Il a aujourd’hui un mois. « A Dieu, me dit, je m’en vais. » Ne puis à moi ne parla. Il a aujourd’hui un mois.

It's a month ago today That my love departed. My heart is still sad and silent. It is a month ago today. "Farewell," he said to me, "I'm leaving." He hasn't spoken to me since. It's a month ago today.

Il me tarde que lundi viengne Car mon ami doy veoir lors. A fin qu'entre mes bras le tiengne Il me tarde que lundi viengne. Si lui pri qu'il lui en souviengne ; Car pour veoir son gentil corps Il me tarde que lundi viengne.

Monday seems to be coming so slowly For that is when I should see my love. So that I may hold him in my arms Monday seems to be coming so slowly. So I pray that he will remember; For to see his gracious body Monday seems to be coming so slowly.
