by Jaufre Rudel, Prince of Blaye (flourished early to mid 12th century)

Quan lo rossinhol el follos
Language: Occitan 
Quan lo rossinhol el [follos]1
Dona d'amor e·n quier e·n pren
E mou son chant jauzent joyos
E remira sa par soven
E·l riu son clar e·l prat son gen,
Pel novel deport que-y renha,
Mi vai grans joys al cor jazer.

D'un'amistat suy enveyos,
Quar no sai joya plus valen,
Que d'aquesta, que bona·m fos
Si·m fazia d'amor prezen,
Que·l cors a gras, delgat e gen
E ses ren que-y descovenha,
E s'amors bon' ab bon saber.

D'aquest' amor suy cossiros
Vellan e pueys sompnhan dormen,
Quar lai ay joy meravelos,
Per qu'ieu la jau joyos jauzen.
Mas sa beutatz no·m val nien,
Quar nulhs amicx no m'essenha
Cum ieu ja n'aya bonsaber.

D'aquest' amor suy tan cochos
Que quant ieu vau ves lieys corren
Vejaire m'es qu'a reversos
M'en torn e que lieys n'an fugen.
E mos cavals i vai tan len
e greu cug mais que y atenha,
S'ilha no·s vol arretener.

Amors, alegres part de vos
Per so quar vau mo mielhs queren,
E fuy-en tant aventuros
Qu'enqueras n'ay mon cor jauzen.
Mas pero per mon Bon Guiren
Que·m vol e m'apell' e·m denha
m'es ops a parcer mon voler.

E qui sai reina deleytos
E Dieu non siec en Bethleem
No sai cum ja mais sia pros
Ni cum ja venh' a guerimen,
Qu'ieu sai e crei, mon escien,
Que selh qui Jhesus ensenha
Segur' escola pot tener.
