Original text and translations

French text L'amour, la mort et la vie Me tourmentent à toute heure De me laysser ont envye Et veullent que j'y demeure Quand je veulx rire je pleure Du feu d'amour qui s'avive La vie veult que je meure Et la mort veult que je vive.

English translation Love and life and death all three Torment me the livelong day They would like to set me free And would prefer that there I stay. I cry when I should be gay From the fire that love doth give Life wants me to pass away While death prefers that I live. Translation by Thomas Daughton
