French text
- Pourquoi non,
- Ne veuil je mourir?
- Pourquoi non,
- Ne dois je quérir,
- La fin de ma dolente vie.
- Quand j'aime qui ne m'aime mie,
- Et sers sans guerdon acquérir.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Why do I
not wish to die?
This life of misery,
if it cannot be mended,
were it not better ended?
I love her: not a fig does she care
and my reward for serving her
is naught but empty air.
