Original text and translations

French text Damours me vient tout a rebours ja ne fault que cela mente. Iay refus en lieu de secours. Mamye rit e ie lamente. Cest la cause pour quoy ie chante. Damours me vient tout a rebours. Modern French D'amour me vient à contresens, il ne faut que cela mente. J'ai refus au lieu de secours. Mon amie rit et je lamente. C'est la cause pourquoi je chante. D'amour me vient à contresens.

English translation Love has turned its back on me, there's no denying in that. I've found refusal instead of solace. My friend is laughing while I weep. Hence this song of mine: Love has turned its back on me.
