Pour l'amour de ma doulce amye
Ce rondelet voudray chanter,
Et de bon cuer luy presenter
Affin qu'elle en soit plus jolye.

Car je l'ay sur toutes choysie
mon plaisir sans mal penser:
  Pour [l'amour de ma doulce amye
  Ce rondelet voudray chanter.]

Elle est belle, plaisant et lye,
Saige en maintieng et en parler:
Se la veul servir et amer
mon povoir toute ma vie.

  Pour l'amour [de ma doulce amye
  Ce rondelet voudray chanter,
  Et de bon cuer luy presenter
  Affin qu'elle en soit plus jolye.

For love of my sweet lady
I want to sing this song
And gladly present it to her
So that she can be more joyful as a result.

For I have chosen her above all others
For my pleasure, without bad intent:
  For love of my sweet lady
  I want to sing this song.

She is beautiful, pleasing and happy
Wise in her bearing and her talk:
So I want to serve her and love her
The best I can, all my life.

For love of my sweet lady
I want to sing this song
And gladly present it to her
So that she can be more joyful as a result.
