Souvent je m'esbas et mon cueur est marry,
et vis en dueil et en grand desplaisance
tout te les fois que j'ay en souvenance
de la belle qui vers moy a failly.

Modern French
Souvent je m’ébats
et mon cœur est marri.
Je vis en deuil et en déplaisir
toutes les fois que je me rappelle
la belle qui a manqué à son devoir envers moi.

English.png English translation

I often frolic
with a merry heart.
But I mourn and suffer
each time I have to remember
the beautiful girl that didn't live up
to what she owed me.
