Tant que vivray - Angelo Branduardi traduction en anglais

Tant que vivray

Tant que vivray en age florissant
Je serviray Amour le dieu puissant
En faictz en dictz, en chansons et accords
Par plusieurs jours m′a tenu languissant
Mais après dueil m'a faict resjouissant
Car j′ay l'amour de la belle au gent corps
Son alliance, c'est ma fiance
Son coeur est mien, le mien est sien:
Fide tristesse! Vive liesse
Puisqu′en amours, puisqu′en amours a tant de bien!

Quand je la veulx servir et honorer
Quand par escriptz vault son nom decorer
Quand je la veoy et visite souvent
Les envieux n'en font que murmurer
Mais nostre amour n′en saurait moins durer
Autant ou plus en emporte le vent
Maulgré envie toute ma vie
Je l'amerai et chanterai:
C′est la première, c'est la dernière
Que j′ai servie, que j'ai servie et serviray

As Long As I Live

As long as I live in blooming age
I will serve Amour, the powerful god
In deeds, in words, in songs and chords
For several days he kept me languishing
But after mourning he made me rejoice
Because I have the love of the beautiful in gentle body
His alliance is my betrothal
His heart is mine, mine is his:
Faithful sadness! Lively joy
Since in love, since in love there is so much good!

When I want to serve and honor her
When by writings I want to decorate her name
When I see and visit her often
The envious only murmur about it
But our love will not last less
Just as much or more the wind carries away
Despite all envy in my life
I will love and sing to her:
She is the first, she is the last
That I have served, that I have served and will serve
