Desert of Friends

Desert D'amics

Desert of friends, of goods and of lords,Desert d'amics, de béns e de senyor,
In a strange place and in a weird land,en estrany lloc i en estranya contrada,
Far from all good, tired of anger and sorrow,lluny de tot bé, fart d'enuig e tristor,
My will and thoughts are trapped,ma voluntat e pensa caitivada,
I find myself completely under bad power,me trob del tot en mal poder sotsmès,
I don’t see anyone who cares for me,no vei algú que de mé s'haja cura,
And I’m guarded, locked up, chained and caught,e soi guardats, enclòs, ferrats e pres,
What can I do but accept my sad fate.de què en fau grat a ma trista ventura.

I've seen times when nothing pleased me;Eu hai vist temps que no em plasia res;
Now I’m content with what makes me sad,ara em content de ço qui em fai tristura,
And the light chains I now value moree los grillons lleugers ara preu més
Than in the past the beautiful embroidery.que en lo passat la bella brodadura.
Fortune sees that she has shown her willFortuna vei que ha mostrat son voler
Upon me, wanting me to be at such a point;sus mé, volent que en tal punt vengut sia;
But I don’t care, since I’ve done my dutyperò no em cur, pus hai fait mon dever
With all the good ones I found in company.amb tots los bons que em trob en companyia.

All these pains are nothing to sufferTots aquests mals no em són res de sofrir
In the eyes of one who calms my hearten esguard d'u qui al cor me destenta
And makes me depart with hope every day:e em fai tot jorn d'esperança partir:
As I see nothing that advances us with a pushcom no vei res que ens avanç d'una espenta
In cradling our deliverance.en acunçar nostre deslliurament .

Desert of friends, of goods and of lords,Deserts d'amics, de béns e de senyor,
In a strange place and in a weird land...en estrany lloc i en estranya contrada...
