Original text and translations

French text Allégez moy, doulce plaisant brunette. Dessoubz la boudinette. Allégez moy de toutes mes douleurs. Vostre beaulté me tient en amourette, dessoubz la boudinette.

English translation Soothe me, dark little beauty. Just below the navel. Soothe away all my pains. Your beauty makes me amorous, just below the navel.

Portuguese translation Alivia-me, doce e prazerosa morena. Logo debaixo do umbigo. Alivia-me de todas as minhas dores. Tua beleza me deixa apaixonado, logo abaixo do umbigo.
