28. Balade: «Car loin de vous vivre je ne pourroye» Adieu, m’amour et ma doulce plaisance, Adieu, ma joye et tout mon seul desir, Adieu, adieu, toute mon esperance. Helas! adieu, mon joieux souvenir, Adieu, celle qui tant me fait languir. Adieu, ma belle et souveraine joye. Helas! Adieu. Pansés de revenir, Car loin de vous vivre je ne pourroye. Tant vous aime que j’en pers contenance, Tant vous aime que j’en pers le dormir, Tant vous aime que ailleurs je ne pance. Tant vous aime qu’autre ne quier veir. Tant vous aime qu’autre ne veul cherir. Tant vous aime que rien tant ne sauroie, Tant vous aime que j’en crains a morir, Car loin de vous vivre je ne pourroie. Helas! tant ay fait de vous souvenance, Helas! tant suis lié de vous veir, Helas! tant vueil vostre doulce presence, Helas! tant vueil entre voz bras dormir, Helas! tant vueil vostre bouche sentir, Helas! tant suis desirant qu’o vous soye. Se ce n’estoit, il me fauldroit finir, Car loing de vous vivre je ne pourroye.

28. Ballade: “For far from you I wouldn’t be able to live” Farewell, my love and my sweet pleasure; Farewell, my joy and all my only desire. Farewell, farewell, all of my hope. Alas! Farewell, my joyous memory. Farewell, she who makes me languish so. Farewell, my beautiful and sovereign joy. Alas, farewell. Think about returning, For far from you I wouldn’t be able to live. I love you so much that I lose composure. I love you so much that I lose sleep. I love you so much that I think of nothing else. I love you so much that I don’t wish to see another. I love you so much that I don’t want to cherish another. I love you so much that I couldn’t do anything as much. I love you so much that I fear of dying, For far from you I wouldn’t be able to live. Alas, so much have I thought about you, Alas, so happy am I to see you, Alas, so much do I want your sweet presence, Alas, so much do I want to sleep in your arms, Alas, so much do I want to feel your mouth, Alas, so much do I desire to be with you, If this didn’t happen, I would be forced to perish, For far from you I wouldn’t be able to live.
