Original text and translations
French text
Ayme qui vouldra, amour ia naura dessus moy puissance.
Mon cueur en souffrance plus ne tiendra,
mais tant que vivera,
trousse et arc sera mis en nonchalence.
Modern French
J'aimerai qui je voudrai,
jamais amour n'aura puissance sur moi.
Mon coeur en souffrance ne tiendra plus,
mais tant que vivrai,
trousse et arc seront mis en indifférence.
English translation
I shall love whomever I like,
let Love's power over me be undone.
My heart will see no more suffering,
since for as long as I live,
his bow and arrows will be indifferent to me.
