Text and translations

French text

Le content est riche en ce monde
Et bien heureux en ce temps ci.
A cœur joyeux liberté monde
vivre chez soi hors de souci.

Etre amoureux non point transi.
Et à tous deuil clore les yeux.
Toujours, gaillards, faites ainsi
Et vous vivrez cent ans et mieux.

English translation

The contented is rich in this world
and happy in this time.
A merry heart, free world
lives at home without concern.

Be in love but not lovesick.
And to all mourning close your eyes.
Always, fellows, do so
and you will live a hundred years and more.
