Mediaeval Baebes The Love Me Broughte (olde And Modern Translation) Lyrics

Love Me Broughte (olde And Modern Translation) Lyrics

Love me broughte

and love me wroughte,

man, to be thy fere

love me fedde

and love me ledde

and love me lette here.



Love me slou

and love me drou

And love me layde on
bere.

Love is my pes,

for love I ches,

Man to buyen dere.



Ne dred thee nought,

I have thee sought

bothen day and
night,

to haven thee;

well is me,

I have thee wonnen in
fight.



Translation in modern english:



Love delivered
me

and love created me

to be your companion, mankind



Love sustained me

and love guided me

and love abandoned me
here



Love killed me

and love dragged me

and love laid
me on the bier

Love is my peace,

and for love I chose,

to
redeem mankind at great cost.



So you should fear nothing,

for I have looked for you

both day and night,

in order to be
your haven;

I have done well,

for I have won you in battle.
