I'm taking a holiday from you, my love
Language: English after the French (Français)
I'm taking a holiday from you, my love,
And thank you for the honours
Which you chose to present me
So frequently, that I am compelled
To thank you for them daily.
Wherever I am, here or elsewhere,
Let your great kindnesses command me;
Where you wish, I will come.
I'm taking a holiday from you, my love,
And thank you for the honours
Which you chose to present me.
Farewell I tell you, I have no more cash,
By God if you will help me
In my need, as much as
Pleases you, as if to one
On whom has come some reverse.
I'm taking a holiday from you, my love,
And thank you for the honours
Which you chose to present me
So frequently, that I am compelled
To thank you for them daily.
