Adieu mes tres belles amours
Mon espoir quanque j'ay de bien
A ce cop ycy voy je bien
Que je pers joye et tous bons jours.

Puis que j'elonge en plains, en plours,
Ce que j'aime sur toutes rien,
  Adieu mes tres belles amours
  Mon espoir quanque j'ay de bien

En moi seront maintes dolours
Sans que j'aye un seul plaisir mien.
Je suis deffet, comme je tien
Sy celles me dure tous jours.

  Adieu mes tres belles amours
  Mon espoir quanque j'ay de bien
  A ce cop ycy voy je bien
  Que je pers joye et tous bons jours.

Farewell my beautiful love

Language: English after the French (Français)

Farewell my beautiful love
Whatever hope I have of good
At this stroke here I see well
That I am losing joy and all good days.

Since I am leaving in tears, in weeping,
She whom I love above all other ladies.
  Farewell my beautiful love
  Whatever hope I have of good

In me there will be so much sadness
Without me having a single pleasure for myself.
I am undone, as I believe
If this love must last me for ever.

  Farewell my beautiful love
  Whatever hope I have of good
  At this stroke here I see well
  That I am losing joy and all good days.
