Lanquan Li Jorn - Mediæval Bæbes Übersetzung ins Englische

Lanquan Li Jorn

Lanquan li jorn son lonc en may
M'es belhs dous chans d'auzeelhs de lonh
Et quan mi suy partitz de lay
Remembram d'un' amour de lonh
Vau de talon embroncx e clis
Si que chans ni flors d'albespis
Nom platz plus que l'yverns gelatz

Ben tenc lo senhor per veray
Per qu'ieu veirai l'amour de lonh
Mas per un ben que m'an eschay
N'ai dos mals, quar tant m'as de lonh
Ai! Car me fos pelegris
Si que mos fustz e mos tapis
Fos pels sieus belhs huelhs remiratz!

Bem parra joys quan li querray
Per amor Dieu, l'alberc de lonh
E, s'a lieys platz, emberguarai
Pres de lieys, si bem suy de lonh
Andoncs parral parlamens fis
Quan drutz lonhdas er tan vezis
Qu'ab bels digz jauzira solatz

Lanquan Li Jorn

The days are long in May
Sweet songs of birds from afar delight my ear
And when I leave that place
I think of a distant love
I walk with bowed head and downcast eyes
Neither songs nor hawthorn flowers
Please me more than icy winter

I certainly believe the lord
Because of whom I will see my distant love
But for one good thing that befalls me
I have two troubles, because you are so far away
Ah! If only I were a pilgrim
So that my staff and my cloak
Could be observed by their beautiful eyes!

Great joy will be apparent when I seek
For the love of God, the distant dwelling
And, if it pleases her, I will kiss her
Close to her, though I am so far away
Then faithful conversation will be apparent
When distant sweethearts are so close
That with beautiful words they may enjoy pleasure
