toegeschreven aan Raimbaut de Vaqueiras
(Oud Occitaans naar modern Engels)
Altas undas que venez suz la mar
que fay lo vent çay e lay demenar
de mun amic sabez novas comtar,
qui lay passet? No lo vei retornar!
Et oy Deu, d'amor!
Ad hora.m dona joi et ad hora dolor!
que fay lo vent çay e lay demenar
de mun amic sabez novas comtar,
qui lay passet? No lo vei retornar!
Et oy Deu, d'amor!
Ad hora.m dona joi et ad hora dolor!
Oy, aura dulza, qui vens dever lai
Un mun amic dorm e sejorn' e jai,
Del dolz aleyn un beure m'aporta.y!
La bocha obre, per gran desir qu'en ai.
Et oy Deu, d'amor!
Ad hora.m dona joi e ad hora dolor!
Un mun amic dorm e sejorn' e jai,
Del dolz aleyn un beure m'aporta.y!
La bocha obre, per gran desir qu'en ai.
Et oy Deu, d'amor!
Ad hora.m dona joi e ad hora dolor!
Mal amar fai vassal d'estran païs,
Car en plor tornan e sos jocs e sos ris.
Ja nun cudey mun amic me traÿs,
qu'eu li doney ço que d'amor me quis.
Et oy Deu, d'amor!
Ad hora.m dona joi e ad hora dolor!
Car en plor tornan e sos jocs e sos ris.
Ja nun cudey mun amic me traÿs,
qu'eu li doney ço que d'amor me quis.
Et oy Deu, d'amor!
Ad hora.m dona joi e ad hora dolor!

You tall waves that come overseas
Blown hither and yon by the breeze
Bring news of my love to me, please
Will he come back, I wish to learn
Oh God, this love!
It gives me joy and pain by turn
Oh sweet air that blows in from the place
Where my love sleeps and slumbers and stays
A draught of his breath bring my ways
I part my lips, so much I yearn
Oh God, this love!
It gives me joy and pain by turn
To love a stranger’s man is trying
For love and laughter turn to crying
I don’t believe he could be lying
Gave all he asked, who could not spurn
Oh God, this love!
It gives me joy and pain by turn
