Lyrics: Guillaume Guéroult
Susanne un jour d'amour solicitée
Par deux viellards convoitans sa beauté,
Fut en son cœur triste (et) déconforté
Voyant l'effort fait à sa chasteté.
Elle leur dit: "Si par déloyauté
De ce mien corps vous avez jouissance,
C'est fait de moi. Si je fais résistance,
Vous me ferez mourir en déshonneur.
J'aime trop mieux périr en innocence,
Que d'offenser par péché le Seigneur".
So Susanne, importuned by two oldies leching after her beauty,
was sad and sick to the core, seeing their attempt on her chastity.
Says she to them: If you enjoy possession of my body by treachery,
I'm done for; if I put up a fight, you will make me die in shame.
I much prefer to die undefiled than to offend the Lord by sin.
