Triple
Mal d’amors presnés m’amie,
Mal d’amors presnés la moi!
Pres-nés la, je vos en prie
Et requier en foi.
S’el savoit bien sans faintie
Les maus que je trai,
De voir sai
Que ele avroit mercis de moi.

Double
Dame, je me clamerai
A amor, que j’ai servie
Trestos le jor de ma vie,
Com plus tost les troverai;
Tant querai que je l’avrai,
Si li moustrerai, amie,
Le dolors que por vos trai.

Teneur
[Domino]

Triple
Pain of love, take my sweetheart,
pain of love, take her for me!
Take her, I beg and ask you in good faith.
If she knew well the reality of the pain which I bear,
I know in truth that she would have mercy on me.

Double
Lady, I will call Love to account,
Love whom I have always served, and find him as quickly as possible.
I will search so much that I will have him
and show him the pain which I bear because of you, sweetheart.

Tenor
[Lord]
