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


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

{{Translation|English|
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.
A merry heart, free world
With joyous hearts, freedom, and worth,
lives at home without concern.
Living at home, all cares at bay.


Be in love but not voluptuous.
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.
You’ll live at least a hundred years.}}
</poem>

{{Translation|English|(prose version)
He is richest who is content on Earth
and happy in the present time,
carefree, at liberty, living in the right way and always untroubled.
If you can be in love without letting it obsess you,
if you can ignore every affliction and always be light-hearted,
you may live for a hundred years or more.}}

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.

(prose version)
He is richest who is content on Earth
and happy in the present time,
carefree, at liberty, living in the right way and always untroubled.
If you can be in love without letting it obsess you,
if you can ignore every affliction and always be light-hearted,
you may live for a hundred years or more.
