Language: French (Français)
Entre vous, gentils amoureux,
Ce jour de l'an soyés songneus
De bien servir chascum s'amie
Et de fuir merancolie,
Se vous volés estre joieux.
Ne soiés de riens curieux
Que de faire gales et jeux
Et de mener tres bone vie.
Entre [vous, gentils amoureux,
Ce jour de l'an soyés songneus
De bien servir chascum s'amie.]
Et ne vous chaut des envieux,
Qui sont felons et despiteus.
Chantés, dansés, quoi que nul die;
Et qui ne peut chanter, se rie;
Je ne vous ay consilier mieulx.
Entre [vous, gentils amoureux,
Ce jour de l'an soyés songneus
De bien servir chascum s'amie
Et de fuir merancolie,
Se vous volés estre joieux.]

Come all you sweet lovers
Language: English after the French (Français)
Come all you sweet lovers,
This New Year's Day take care
Each to care well for his lady
And to flee melancholy
If you wish to be joyful.
Take no interest in anything
But making festivals and games
And having a very good time.
Come all you sweet lovers,
This New Year's Day take care
Each to care well for his lady.
And don't be bothered by the jealous people
Who are treacherous and spiteful.
Sing and dance, whatever anyone says
And if you can't sing, then laugh
I have no better advice to give you.
Come all you sweet lovers,
This New Year's Day take care
Each to care well for his lady
And to flee melancholy
If you wish to be joyful.
