Ung aultre l'a
Language: Old French (Ancien français)
Ung aultre l'a n'en queres plus
Car dorenavant je conclus
De garder en tout temps mon droit
Chascun se garde en son endroit
Car bien peu me chault du surplus
Je ne vueil pas estre forcluz
D'acorder ou faire reffuz
Mais ce que voulez orendroit
Ung aultre l'a n'en queres plus
Car dorenavant je conclus
De garder en tout temps mon droit
Jamais en ce propos ne fuz
Que mon vouloir fust si confuz
D'entendre atout ce qu'il voudroit
De ce faire on me reprendroit
Congnoissant que seroit abuz
Ung aultre l'a n'en queres plus
Car dorenavant je conclus
De garder en tout temps mon droit
Chascun se garde en son endroit
Car bien peu me chault du surplus

It belongs to another
Language: English after the Old French (Ancien français)
It belongs to another, I shall seek it no more,
For from now on I've decided
To hold on to what is right, at all times.
Let everyone keep to his own place,
For I really don't care about the rest of them.
I don't wish to be prevented
From accepting or refusing anything;
But what you want, from right now,
It belongs to another, I shall seek it no more,
For from now on I've decided
To hold on to what is right, at all times.
Never in this matter were
My wishes so confused
As to listen to everything that he wanted;
You'd have reproved me for doing this,
Knowing that it was wrong.
It belongs to another, I shall seek it no more,
For from now on I've decided
To hold on to what is right, at all times.
Let everyone keep to his own place,
For I really don't care about the rest of them.
