The contented is rich in this world
Contented men are rich on Earth
and happy in this time.
And happy each and ev’ry day.
With merry heart, free and pure,
With joyous hearts, freedom, and worth,
he lives at home without concern.
Living at home, all cares at bay.


Be in love but not lovesick.
Love brings them not the least dismay;
And to all mourning close your eyes.
They close their eyes to all life’s fears.
Always, fellows, do so
Always, ye gallants, be that way,
and you will live a hundred years and more.}}

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.
