Mon père my veult marier,  
Mon père my veult marier,                             My father wanted me to be married           
A ung homme qui porte barbe,
A ung homme qui porte barbe,                          To a man who wore a beard,
Et ma mère luy va disant,  
Et ma mère luy va disant,                             And my mother went to him, saying
Que ne suys pas encore en age
Que ne suys pas encore en age                         That I’m not yet of a marriageable age.
C'est cela de quoy j'enrage  
C'est cela de quoy j'enrage                           That’s what makes me furious,
Qu'on ne my veult marier,  
Qu'on ne my veult marier,                             That no one wants to marry me.
Et gay, gay, gay, gay,
Et gay, gay, gay, gay,                                And gay, gay, gay, gay,
Age, age, age,  
Age, age, age,                                       Age, age, age;
vrai dieu, age Las, que feray je, je ne scay,  
vrai dieu, age Las, que feray je, je ne scay,        Good God, I’m tired of age:
Son <i>[sans]</i> ne my marie, je mourray.  
                                                              what I'll do I do not know,
Son <i>[sans]</i> ne my marie, je mourray.            If I don’t marry, I’ll die.

A ung homme qui porte barbe, To a man who wore a beard,
Et ma mère luy va disant, And my mother went to him, saying
Que ne suys pas encore en age That I’m not yet of a marriageable age.
