Lyrics: Anon

O mal d'aimer, qui tous maux autres passes;
O mal d'aimer, qui les hommes martires;
O mal, O mal d'aimer, qui veux que je trépasse;
O mal qui fais que mon las coeur empire;
Or sus tous maux éponge, qui attires
Complaintes, pleurs, ennuis, gémissements;
O mal qui n'as devant n'y après pire,
Un jour sois las de me livrer tourment.

O lovesickness, surpassing all other ills;
O lovesickness which makes martyrs of men;
O lovesickness that wants me to waste away;
O pain that makes my weary heart worse,
and, more than any other pain, a sponge that sucks up
laments, tears, worries, moans;
O pain, peerless both hitherto and henceforth,
would that one day you would tire of causing me anguish.
