Текст и перевод песни Gor - En Ben Amar

En Ben Amar

Cant e deport, jois, dompneis e sollatz,
Ensenjamen, largessa e cortesia,
Honor e pretz e lial drudaria,
An si baisat enjanz e malvastatz,
C'ab pauc d'ira non sui desesperatz:
Car entre cent dompnas e prejadors
Non vei una ni un qe be s captegna
En ben amar, c'as autra part no s fegna;
Ni sap s' om dir q'es devengud' amors:
Gardatz com es abaisada valors.

En Ben Amar

Singing, pleasures, ladies and revelry,
Teaching, generosity and courtliness,
Honour and worth and loyal love,
Have all been so debased and corrupted,
That with but little provocation I could despair:
For among a hundred ladies and valiant men
I see not one that conducts himself well
In true love, for whom it does not play false;
Nor knows one how to say what has become of love:
Behold how low valour has fallen.
