Original text and translations

French.png French text

Elle s'en va de moi la mieux aimée
elle s'en va certes et si demeure
dedans mon coeur tellement imprimée
qu'elle y sera jusques à ce qu'il meure.

English.png English translation

She’s leaving me, the one that I love best,
She’s leaving without doubt, and if she stays
So indelibly stamped upon my breast,
There she will be ‘til the end of my days.

Translation by Thomas Daughton
