Original text and translations

French text modernized Je suis déshéritée puisque j'ai perdu mon ami, Seulette m'a laissée pleine de pleurs et souci. Rossignol du bois joli, sans point faire demeurée, Va t'en dire a mon ami que pour lui je suis tourmentée.

English translation I am dispossessed since I have lost my sweetheart, He has left me alone full of tears and care. Pretty nightingale of the woods, without demur, Go and tell my sweetheart that I yearn for him. (trans Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
