Available translation(s): ENG
Je veuil chanter de cuer joyeux En ce mois de may gracieux Hault et cler, quoy que nul en die; Amours le vuet; n'y contredie Nesun qui soyt vray amoureux. De tout mon cuer seray sogneux, Ens ou despit des envieux, De bien servir ma douce amye. Je veuil [chanter de cuer joyeux En ce mois de may gracieux Hault et cler, quoy que nul en die.] Je l'ay choisie, si m'aït Dieux, N'y a pareille soubs les cieux A mon avis, ne plus polie Ne sauroit on jusqu'a Paymie Trouver ne qui me pleusist mieux. Je veuil [chanter de cuer joyeux En ce mois de may gracieux Hault et cler, quoy que nul en die; Amours le vuet; n'y contredie Nesun qui soyt vray amoureux.]
Note: Paymie should be a generic remote place; perhaps it is a corruption of Pavie.
Note: The first letters of the verses spell out the name Jehan de Dinant.
