French text
chanson XXXV (Clément Marot, Oeuvres, 1536)
- Vous perdez temps de me dire mal d'elle,
- Gens qui voulez divertir mon entente:
- Plus la blasmez, plus je la trouve belle.
- S'esbahist on, si tant je m'en contente?:
- La fleur de sa jeunesse
- A vostre advis rien n'est ce?
- N'est ce rien que ses grâces?
- Cessez voz grands audaces,
- Car mon Amour vaincra vostre mesdire:
- Tel en mesdict, qui pour soy la desire.
English translation
(translation of contents only)
- You’re wasting your time, talking so negatively about my love.
- The more you blame her, the more I like her.
- The beauty of her youth, her gracefulness...:
- Doesn’t that count ?
- Stop your impertinent brutality !
- my Love will conquer.
- Who talks so negatively about her, desires her for himself.
.. tr. Dick Wursten
