Original text and translations

Adieu mes amours, a Dieu vous command,
Adieu je vous dy jusquez au printemps
Je suis en souci de quoy je vivray
La raison pour quoy je le vous diray :
Je n’ay plus d’argent, vivray je du vent,
Se l’argent du roy ne vient plus souvent.

English.png English translation

Farewell my loves, to God I commend you.
Farewell I say until the Spring.
I am worried about what I shall live on.
The reason why? I will tell you:
I have no more money. Shall I live on air,
if the king’s money does not come more often?

Adeus meus amores, encomendo-vos a Deus,
Adeus, eu digo, até a Primavera
Pergunto-me com o quê viverei
A razão de tal pergunta eu vos digo:
Eu não tenho dinheiro, viverei do vento,
Caso o dinheiro do rei não venha mais
