Lyrics: Anon

L'hiver sera, et l'été, variable,
Mais mon désir jamais ne varira;
Le beau printemps, et l'automne, muable,
Mais mon vouloir jamais ne changera;
Car mon amour toujours continuera,
Et sera ferme en son cours arrêté;
Tant que, fuyant l'un l'autre, l'on verra
Automne, hiver, le printemps et l'été.

Winter and summer will be changeable,
but my devotion will never alter;
beauteous spring and autumn will be variable,
but my wishes will never shift;
because my love will persist and
remain so constant upon its allotted course
that it will witness the succeeding seasons:
autumn, winter, spring and summer.
