Original text and translations

French.png French text

Tu as tout seul, Jean, Jean, vignes et prés,
Tu as tout seul ton or et ta pécune,
Tu as tout seul des logis diaprés
Où nul vivant n'y prétend chose aucune,
Tu as tout seul ton bonheur et fortune,
Tu as tout seul ton vivre et ton repas.
Tu as tout seul toutes choses fors une,
C'est que tout seul ta femme tu n'as pas.

John, both vines and meadows you call your own,
Your gold and all your money - yours alone,
Fine buildings you possess, all yours to boot:
No other claims them, yours beyond dispute:
Yours are your happiness, your fortune and your wealth,
You have your board, your meals for yourself.
Everything is yours - all things but one:
If only your wife as well was yours alone!

Translation by Mick Swithinbank
