Lyrics: Anon
Le mois de mai sur tous est vigoureux,
Plaisant et gai; et aussi on appelle
Le mois de mai des amoureux;
Et au contraire, O janvier rigoureux,
Est ta saison dit à leurs jeux rebelle.
En ce vert mois souvent vois la belle
Qui a mon cœur, où grand plaisir j'aie.
Mais s'il advient Janvier que je la voie
Aussi souvent en ta rude saison,
Non moins que mai propice à avoir joie
T'appelerai pour la même raison.
The month of May, above all others, is robust,
Agreeable and joyful; also May is termed
The month of lovers.
Conversely, O bracing January, your season is said
To be unconducive to their sports.
In that green month, I often see the fair one
Who owns my heart; from which I derive great pleasure.
But, in your harsh month, January,
Should it be that I happen to see her as often,
Then I'll describe you as no less likely to hold joy
Than May, for the same reason.
