Lyrics: Anon

Du corps absent le cœur ie te présente
Qui loyaument sans fin te servira;
Et en tous lieux comme ton serf irai
Vivant d'espoir, se nourissant d'attente.
Sans liberté qu'un bon esprit regrette,
L'homme ne peut son amour découvrir;
Car quand il veut du cœur la porte ouvrir,
Danger la clôt d'une honte secrète.

I give to you the heart from a body not present,
Which will serve you loyally forever.
And I will go everywhere as your vassal
Living in hope and feeding on expectancy.
Without that liberty, for which a worthy soul yearns,
A man cannot reveal his love;
For when he wishes to open the door to his heart,
The impediment of suppressed shame slams it shut.
