L'homme, l'homme, l'homme armé, l'homme armé,
L'homme armé doibt on doubter.
On a fait par tout crier,
Que chascun se viegne armer, d'un haubregon de fer.
L'homme, l'homme, l'homme armé, l'homme armé,
L'homme armé doibt on doubter.

The man, the man, the armed man,
one must beware the armed man.
the word is that everyone
must arm himself with a hauberk (iron chain-mail vest).
The man, the man, the armed man,
one must beware the armed man.
