Die Klage - 2016 Remastered

Ja nus hons pris ne dira sa raison
Adroitement, se dolantement non;
Mais par confort puet il faire chançon.
Mout ai amis, mais povre sont li don;
Honte i avront se por ma reançon
Sui ça deus yvers pris.
Ce sevent bien mi home et mi baron
Ynglois, Normant, Poitevin et Gascon
Que je n′ai nul si povre compaignon
Que je lessaisse por avoir en prison;
Je nou di mie por nule retraçon,
Mais encor sui je pris.
Obscuratus est sol
Obscuratus est aer
Salva me ab ore dragonis
Je nou di mie por nule retraçon,
Mais encor sui je pris.
Je nou di mie por nule retraçon,
Mais encor sui je pris.

The Complaint - 2016 Remastered

If now a man would speak of his reason
Properly, it should be a song of sorrow;
But, as a solace, he may write a song.
I have many friends, but their gifts are small;
They would be ashamed if, for my ransom
I have been a prisoner for two years.
My men and barons know this well
English, Normans, Poitevins, and Gascons
I have no companion so poor
That I would leave him in prison to have my freedom;
I don't say this to reproach them,
But still I am a prisoner.
Obscuratus est sol
Obscuratus est aer
Salva me ab ore dragonis
I don't say this to reproach them,
But still I am a prisoner.
I don't say this to reproach them,
But still I am a prisoner.
