Lyrics: Clément Marot
Une nonnain, fort belle et en bon point,
Se repentit d'avoir laissé le monde,
Et je lui dis: "Ma sœur, il ne faut point
Avoir regret à chose tant immonde.
N'avez vous pas Jésus Christ pur et monde
Pour votre époux en profession pris,
Au nom duquel tout salut est compris?"
"Oui", dit-elle, "et ne le veux lâcher,
Mais Jésus Christ est époux des esprits
Et je demande un époux pour la chair."
So this nun, very pretty and with a good figure,
Expresses regret at having to leave the world,
And I says to her: "Sister, you should have no regret
About something so profane.
Have you not taken Jesus Christ, pure and wholesome,
As your spouse in your vocation,
And in whose name salvation is made manifest?"
"Well yes", says she, "and I don't wish to recant in any way,
But Jesus Christ is a soul-mate
And I need a mate for the flesh."
