Original text
Au joly son du sansonnet
je m’endormy l'autre nuictée.
Et là ouy dire ung souhait
Qui touchoit à m’amye:
"Va, si te marie, va
Puisqu'on les a bien à l'essay."
Jamais ne me mariray

Modern French
Au joli son du sansonnet
je me suis endormi l'autre nuit.
Là j'ai entendu un souhait
qui concernait mon amie:
"Va, si tu désires te marier!
Va, puisqu'on les a bien eus à l'essai."
Jamais ne me marierai!

English.png English translation

I heard the starling’s lovely sound
The other night as sleep I found.
A hidden wish it did expound
That touched on my beloved:
“Want to marry, go ahead!
‘Cause we’ve passed all the gals around.”
I’ll never be by marriage bound!

Translation by Thomas Daughton
