Departir

Departing

Departir

I can’t wait for the dawn to break,Cant voi l'aube du jour venir,
Nothing should hate so much,Nulle rien ne doi tant hair,
For it makes me leave,K'elle fait de moi departir
My friend, whom I love so deeply.Mon amin, cui j'ain per amors.

Now I hate nothing as much as the day,Or ne hais riens tant com le jour,
Friends, that takes me away from you.Amins, ke me depairt de vos.

When I lie down in my bedQuant je me gix dedens mon lit
And I look beside me,Et je regairde encoste mi,
I find no trace of my friend,Je n'i truis point de mon amin,
So I complain to my heart, full of sorrow.Se m'en plaing a fin amerous.

Now I hate nothing as much as the day,Or ne hais riens tant com le jour,
Friends, that takes me away from you.Amins, ke me depairt de vos.

Sweet dear friends, you will leave;Biaus dous amis, vos en ireis ;
May God command your bodies.A deu soit vos cors comandeis
For God's sake, don’t forget me!Por Deu vos pri, ne m'oblieis !
I love nothing as much as you.Je n'ain nulle rien tant com vos.

Now I pray to all true loversOr pri a tous les vrais amans
That this song be sung,Ceste chanson voixent chantant
In spite of the meddling foolsEns en despit des medixans
And the jealous, wicked husbands.Et des mavais maris jalous.

Now I hate nothing as much as the day,Or ne hais riens tant com le jour,
Friends, that takes me away from you.Amins, ke me depairt de vos.
