Paroles et traduction Mediæval Bæbes - Alba

Alba

Reis glorios, verais lums e clartatz
Deus poderos, senher si a vos platz
Al meu companh siatz fizels aju da
Qu'eu non lo vi, pos la noitz fon venguda
Et ades sera l'alba!

Bel companho, si dormetz o veillatz?
Non dormatz plus, suau vos ressidatz
Qu'en orien vei l'estela creguda
Qu'amenal jorn, qu'eu l'ai ben coneguda
Et ades sera l'alba!

Bel dos companh, tan sui en ric sojorn
Qu'eu no volgra mais fos alba ni jorn
Car la gensor que anc nasques de maire
Tenc e abras, per qu'eu non prezi gaire
Lo fol gilos ni l'alba

Dawn

Glorious king, true light and brilliance
Almighty God, please, if it is your will
Be a true help to my companion
For I have not seen him since nightfall
And now dawn approaches!

My handsome companion, are you asleep or awake?
Sleep no longer, gently wake up
For in the east I see the bright star
That brings the day, which I know so well
And now dawn approaches!

My sweet companion, I am in such a rich state
That I would not wish for it to be dawn or day
For I hold and embrace the fairest one ever born of a mother
Therefore I care not for
The foolish jealous one or the dawn
