French.png French text

Belle, qui tiens ma vie captive dans tes yeux,
Qui m’a l’âme ravie d’un souriz gracieux,
Viens tôt me secourir, ou me faudra mourir.

Pourquoi fuis-tu, mignarde, si je suis près de toy,
Quand tes yeux je regarde, je me perds dedans moy,
Car tes perfections, changent mes actions.

Approche donc ma belle, approche toy mon bien,
Ne me sois plus rebelle, puisque mon coeur est tien,
Pour mon mal appaiser, donne moy un baiser.

Je meurs mon Angelette, je meurs en te baisant,
Ta bouche tant doucette, va mon bien ravissant
A ce coup mes esprits, sont tout d’amour épris.

Plutôt on verra l’Onde, contre mont reculer
Et plutôt l’œil du monde, cessera de brûler
Que l’amour qui m ‘époint, décroisse d’un seul point.

Een klassieker, maar met een paar extra strofes. Jan Wyns

Mijn lief, je houdt mijn bestaan met je blik gevangen,
Je verblindt me met je stralende glimlach,
Help me kom naar me toe, haal me uit mijn eenzaamheid.

Waarom blijf je zo schroomvallig als ik bij je ben,
Telkens ik in je ogen kijk, ben ik verloren,
Want al jouw volmaaktheden, brengen me van de wijs.

Kom toch dichterbij mijn lief, kom mijn schat,
En wees niet langer bevreesd, want mijn hart behoort jou toe,
Om mijn lijden te verzachten, geef me een zoen.

Ik besterf het, mijn engeltje, bij elke zoen,
Je mond is zo zacht en zo bekoorlijk,
Op slag is mijn geest van liefde beneveld.

Eerder nog zal een golf de berg op stromen,
En eerder nog de eeuwige zon uitdoven,
Dan dat ‘k in liefde voor jou te kort zou komen.


English.png English translation Beauty, you who hold my life captive in your eyes,
Who make my soul glad with a gracious smile,
Come soon rescue me, or I shall die.

Why are you fleeing, sweetheart, when I am close to you,
For you perfections change my behaviour.

Come my beauty, come my wellbeing,
Don't reject me, for my heart is yours,
To appease my pain, give me a kiss.

I am dying my little angel, I am dying while kissing you,
Your mouth so soft makes me feel better
Then my soul is fulfilled with love.

Sooner the waves against mountains shall recede,
And sooner the world's eye shall cease to burn
Before the love exciting me shall decrease of one dot.
