D'amourous cuer
Language: Old French (Ancien français) 
Our translations:  ENG
D'amourous cuer voel canter,
Pour avoir aïe;
N'os autrement reclamer
Celi qui m'oublie;
Dont ne me porroie oster,
Comment c'on m'ait assailli,
Moi voelle ou non a ami,
Tant l'ai en druerie,
Et tant mi sunt abeli 
Li penser.

With a loving heart
Language: English  after the Old French (Ancien français) 
Add this translation to the Basket
With a loving heart let me sing
To gain her support;
I dare not otherwise call on
The one who disregards me;
From whom I could not part, 
However much she has tormented me,
Whether or not she wants me as a friend,
So much do I hold her in affection,
And so pleasing do I find
Thoughts of her.
