The contented is rich in this world
and happy in this time.
With merry heart, free and pure,
he lives at home without concern.


Be in love but not lovesick.

And to all mourning close your eyes.

Always, fellows, do so
Contented men are rich on Earth
and you will live a hundred years and more.
And happy each and ev’ry day.

Living at home, all cares at bay.

Le content est riche en ce monde
Et bien heureux en ce temps ci.
À cœur joyeux, liberté, monde,
vivre chez soi hors de souci.

Être amoureux non point transi.
Et à tous deuil clore les yeux.
Toujours, gaillards, faites ainsi
Et vous vivrez cent ans et mieux.

English.png English translation

Contented men are rich on Earth
And happy each and ev’ry day.
With joyous hearts, freedom, and worth,
Living at home, all cares at bay.

Love brings them not the least dismay;
They close their eyes to all life’s fears.
Always, ye gallants, be that way,
You’ll live at least a hundred years.
