Le Missel Chantant, Suite de mélodies sur de vieilles poésies françaises - 6ème volume

by Raoul Laparra (1876 - 1943)

11. Je cognoys approcher ma soef
 (Sung text)

Language: Middle French 
Je cognoys approcher ma soef,
Je crache, blanc comme cotton,
Jacobins gros comme ung estoeuf.
Qu'est ce à dire ? Que Jehanneton
Plus ne me tient pour valeton ;
Mais pour ung vieil usé regnart.
De vieil, porte voix et le ton,
Et ne suys q'ung jeune coquart.
Qu'est ce à dire ? Que Jehanneton
Plus ne me tient pour valeton.
Je crache, hélas ! je crache...
