Je me complains

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG

Je me complains de mon amy
Qui me vouloit tant venir veoir
La fresche matinée,
Or est il prime et s'est midi,
Et si n'oy nouvelle de luy,
S'aproche la vesprée.
La tricoton, la tricoton,
La belle tricotée.

I am weeping

Language: English after the French (Français)

I am weeping for my lover
Who so wanted to come and see me
Early in the morning,
But now it's Prime and midday
And still I hear no news of him
As Vespers approach.
Knitting, knitting.
The fair one knits.
