Original French
Sur la verdure du pré florissant,
m'amye'ouy chanter, dancer, et rire,
O, quel douleur s'etit, O quel martire,
quant vis qu'aultre, d'ell'estoit jouissant.

Modern French
Sur la verdure du pré florissant
j'ai entendu mon amie chanter, danser et rire.
O quelle douleur c'était, quel martyre
quand je vis qu'un autre était jouissant
d'elle sur la verdure.

English.png English translation

In a greensward full of flowers one day,
My love, I saw, did laugh and dance and sing,
But oh the pain, oh how the sight did sting,
‘Twas with another man that she did play.

Translation by Thomas Daughton
