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

Lanquan lo temps renovelha
Language: Occitan 
Lanquan lo temps renovelha
e par la flors albespina,
ai talant d'un chant novelh
qu'ieu sai cum lo chans refri
........................
........................;
doussament per miey la bruelha
lo rossinhol s'esbaudeya.

E quand lo bosc reverdeya,
nays fresca e vertz la fuelha,
adoncas ieu reverdey
de joy e florisc cum suelh,
ab lo dous chan del mati
que fan d'amor li auzelh
........................;
jauzens somon a l'aurelha.

E pus l'us l'autre s'enselha
e'l par ves sa par s'aizina,
de nos es dregz que s'enselh
quascus d'atretal aizi,
ab fin'amor, ses erguelh.
Qu'ieu conosc assatz e vey,
pus la malvestatz s'orguelha,
qu'amor non deu far enveya.

Joys ab amar cabaleya
e's veston d'una despuelha,
e cui que desabaley,
d'escassedat mi despuelh;
amors si senh ab joy fi
e joys fa d'amor capdelh,
e malvestat que no fina,
bayssa prez e'l descapdelha.

Cortezament assembelha
amors vera e s'afina,
que de joy fa son sembelh,
per qu'ieu plus ves lieys acli:
e malvestatz dezacuelh
pretz que no sap on s'estey.
Per qu'ieu laus jovens acuelha
amors e ab lieys esteya.

Sobre'ls melhors senhoreya
mos chans en qual guiza'm vuelha,
e'ls motz laissans senhorey
e'ls say dir aissi cum vuelh.
E vec vos del vers la fi
qu'En Grimoartz vos espelh:
qu'ab joy lo las' e l'afina
si's qui bel chant ni l'espelha.
