Cueurs désolez

Language: Multiple Languages

Our translations: ENG

Cueurs désolez par toute nation,
Assemblez dueil et lamentation,
Ne cherchez plus l'armoniance,
Lyre d'Orpheus, pour voz resjouyssance,
Mais plongez vous en desolation.

Cantus fìrmus:
 Plorans ploravit in nocte
 Et lacrymae eius in maxillis eius.
 Non est qui consoletur eam
 Ex omnibus caris eius.

Distraught hearts

Language: English after the Multiple Languages

Distraught hearts in every nation
Bring your grief and lamentation;
No longer seek for harmony, 
Lyre of Orpheus, for your enjoyment
But plunge yourself in desolation.

Cantus firmus
 Weeping she wept in the night
 And her tears are on her face.
 There is none to console her
 From all her dear ones.
