Chansoneta Farai Vencut
Chansoneta farai, Vencut
Pus vos m'a rendut Rossilhos
E sapchatz que nos em cregut
Pus no vim vostres companhos
D'un drut novelh, don tota gens ressona
Que midons es a semblan de leona!
Ar sai que-s tocan las peiras d'Alzona
Pus premiers pot intrar selh que mais dona
E, si tot m'en ai joy avut
Er en vuel esser mons e blos
Quar no vuelh ab nom de cornut
Aver l'emperi dels grifos!
Autra n'am ieu que mais mi guazardona
Sos gens parlars, que s'autra m'abandona
Qu'enjanatz es qui fals'amor razona
E domna falh que-s recre per anona
Mas, s'ieu saupes qu'ilh fos leos
Ieu l'agr'avut caval ferran
Pus de lieys non es poderos
Homs, si non es d'aital semblan!
Avol soudad'a midons resseubuda
Quar per aver s'es de bon pretz moguda
Que, s'ieu saupes per aver fos venguda
Ma soudada ne pogr'aver avuda
E fera-l d'autres guiardos
Que-l pogran valer atrestan
Mas no s'azauta de chansos
Ans se va de mi rancuran
Que ditz que trop la vuelh levar en bruda
E no vol esser tan luenh mentauguda!
E valgra-l mais en perdos fos ma druda
Que sa falsa beutat agues venduda
A-n Baut deforas la coman
Que jamais no-i vuelh aver part
E non hi conosc autre dan
Mas quar en fis mon audiart
Ai fals escutz, tan leu vos laissatz fendre
Qu'om de part vos non auza colp atendre
Et ai vos o ben en cor a carvendre!
S'ie-us pugei aut, bas vos farai dissendre
Ai las e co muer deziran
Per la bella que ses mal art
Es, e tan fina ses enjan
Qu'anc non amet volpil bastart!
E, si-l sieu cors volgues el mieu entendre
Totz autres joys fora-n contra-l mieu mendre
E ja d'un bais, si-l me volgues estendre
No m'en feira tirar ni escoyssendre
Chanso, vai t'en a mon Plus Lial rendre
E diguas li qu'ieu sai dona a vendre
Little Song, You Will Win
Little song, you will win
For you made me a Rossilhos
And fools that we believed
For I didn't see your companions
Of a new song, that everyone echoes
That ladies are like lions!
Now they strike the stones of Alzona
For the first can enter the one who gives the most
And if I’ve had joy in everything
I want to be mine and beautiful
For I don’t want in the name of a cuckold
To have the empire of griffins!
I have another that gives me more pleasure
Her words, for another abandons me
For the one who falsely loves reasons
And a lady who recreates for the night
But, if I knew they were lions
I would have the iron horse
For of them, there’s no power
Men, if they’re not of such a kind!
With a lady’s love received
For to have it, it’s of good worth moved
That, if I knew to have it come
My love wouldn’t have been so hard
And it will make others look
That they can value at rest
But don’t raise it from songs
Instead, it goes from me in bitterness
For it says that I want to raise it in a rush
And doesn’t want to be so far away!
And it’s worth more in lost beauty
That her false beauty would have sold
To Baut outside the command
That I never want to have a part
And I don’t know another dance
But when I trust my hearing
I have false shields, so quickly you let yourself be torn
That one from you doesn’t dare to wait
And I have you well in heart to carve!
If I could lift you up, I would make you descend
I have the desire to die
For the beauty that is so poorly crafted
Yes, and so fine is her charm
That never loves a bastard!
And, if he wanted my heart to understand
All other joys would be against my lesser
And already with a kiss, if he wanted to extend me
It wouldn’t make me pull away or retreat
Song, go to my Most Loyal return
And tell him that I know a lady to sell.
