Our translations: ENG

Vostre trés doulx regart plaisant
Belle bonne que j'ayme tant
On ne peut plus en bonne foy
Trés perde tout le cuer de moy
Et oblege le demourant.

Non pas sans plus pour un tenant
Mais tous les jours de mon vivant
Pour obeir comme je doy.
  Vostre trés doulx regart plaisant
  Belle bonne que j'ayme tant
  On ne peut plus en bonne foy.

Je n'ay chose au monde vaillant
Que tout soyt a vo commant
Il y a rien rayson pour quoy :
Car vous valez et un filz de Roy
Et deust il morir en servant.

  Vostre trés doulx regart plaisant
  Belle bonne que j'ayme tant
  On ne peut plus en bonne foy
  Trés perde tout le cuer de moy
  Et oblege le demourant.

Your very sweet glance

Language: English after the French (Français)

Your very sweet and pleasant glance
Fair lady whom I love so well
No one could bear it more, by my faith
May it be the loss of my whole heart
And the guarantee it will stay so.

Not just for now
But for all the days I live
To obey you as I must.
  Your very sweet and pleasant glance
  Fair lady whom I love so well
  No one could bear it more, by my faith.

Nothing I have of value in this world
Which won't be at your command
There is a good reason why:
Because you are worth as much as a king's son
Even if he were to die serving love.

  Your very sweet and pleasant glance
  Fair lady whom I love so well
  No one could bear it more, by my faith
  May it be the loss of my whole heart
  And the guarantee it will stay so.
