Quant l'aura doussa s'amarzis (When the sweet air turns bitter) Ab lo temps qe fai refreschar (With the season giving youth back) Assatz es or' oimai q'eu chan! (It's high time for me to sing) Ab lo pascor m'es bel qu'eu chan (At Easter-time I find it nice to sing) Puois nostre temps comens'a brunezir (Now that our season starts dimming) Lo plaing comenz iradamen (I sadly begin the dirge) Car vei fenir a tot dia (Since I see, every day, end) Per fin'Amor m'esjauzira (I shall rejoice of a noble Love)
