lyrics

French:

Ce qui soustient moy, m'onneur et ma vie
Aveuc Amours, c'estes vous, douce dame.

Long, près, toudis serez, quoy que nuls die,
Ce qui soustient moy m'onneur et ma vie.

Et quant je vif par vous anemie,
Qu'aim miex que moy, bien dire doy, par m'ame:
"Ce qui soustient moy, m'onneur et ma vie
Avec Amours, c'estes vous, douce dame."


English translation:

That which sustains me, my honor and my life,
with Love — it is you, sweet lady.

Far, near, all this will be, no matter what they say,
That which sustains me, my honor and my life,

And when I live, quickened by you
who loves better than I, I should well say, by my soul:
“That which sustains me, my honor and my life,
with Love — it is you, sweet lady.”
