Iii The Court Of Love Lyrics
15. Cupid flies everywhere
Cupid flies everywhere
seized by desire.
Young men and women
are rightly coupled.
The girl without a lover
misses out on all pleasures,
she keeps the dark night
hidden
in the depth of her heart;
it is a most bitter fate.
16. Day, night and everything
Day, night and everything
is against me,
the chattering of maidens
makes me weep,
and often sigh,
and, most of all, scares me.
O friends, you are making fun of me,
you do not know what you are saying,
spare me, sorrowful as I am,
great is my grief,
advise me at least,
by your honour.
Your beautiful face,
makes me weep a thousand times,
your heart is of ice.
As a cure,
I would be revived
by a kiss.
17. A girl stood
A girl stood
in a red tunic;
if anyone touched it,
the tunic rustled.
Eia!
A girl stood
like a little rose:
her face was radiant
and her mouth in bloom.
Eia!
18. In my heart
In my heart
there are many sighs
for your beauty,
which wound me sorely. Ah!
Mandaliet,
mandaliet,
my lover
does not come.
Your eyes shine
like the rays of the sun,
like the flashing of lightening
which brightens the darkness. Ah!
Mandaliet,
mandaliet,
my lover
does not come.
May God grant, may the gods grant
what I have in mind:
that I may loose
the chains of her virginity. Ah!
Mandaliet,
mandaliet,
my lover
does not come.
19. If a boy with a girl
If a boy with a girl
tarries in a little room,
happy is their coupling.
Love rises up,
and between them
prudery is driven away,
an ineffable game begins
in their limbs, arms and lips.
20. Come, come, O come
Come, come, O come,
do not let me die,
hycra, hycre, nazaza,
trillirivos!
Beautiful is your face,
the gleam of your eye,
your braided hair,
what a glorious creature!
redder than the rose,
whiter than the lily,
lovelier than all others,
I shall always glory in you!
21. In the balance
In the wavering balance of my feelings
set against each other
lascivious love and modesty.
But I choose what I see,
and submit my neck to the yoke;
I yield to the sweet yoke.
22. This is the joyful time
This is the joyful time,
O maidens,
rejoice with them,
young men!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am bursting out all over!
I am burning all over with first love!
New, new love is what I am dying of!
I am heartened
by my promise,
I am downcast
by my refusal.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am bursting out all over!
I am burning all over with first love!
New, new love is what I am dying of!
In the winter
man is patient,
the breath of spring
makes him lust.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am bursting out all over!
I am burning all over with first love!
New, new love is what I am dying of!
My virginity
makes me frisky,
my simplicity
holds me back.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am bursting out all over!
I am burning all over with first love!
New, new love is what I am dying of!
Come, my mistress,
with joy,
come, come, my pretty,
I am dying!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am bursting out all over!
I am burning all over with first love!
New, new love is what I am dying of!
23. Sweetest one
Sweetest one! Ah!
I give myself to you totally!
24. Hail, most beautiful one
Hail, most beautiful one,
precious jewel,
Hail, pride among virgins,
glorious virgin,
Hail. light of the world,
Hail, rose of the world,
Blanchefleur and Helen,
noble Venus!
