Mon père my veult marier,
A ung homme qui porte barbe,
Et ma mère luy va disant,
Que ne suys pas encore en age
C'est cela de quoy j'enrage
Qu'on ne my veult marier,
Et gay, gay, gay, gay,
Age, age, age,
vrai dieu, age Las, que feray je, je ne scay,
Son [sans] ne my marie, je mourray.

My father wanted me to be married
To a man who wore a beard,
And my mother went to him, saying
That I’m not yet of a marriageable age.
That’s what makes me furious,
That no one wants to marry me.
And gay, gay, gay, gay,
Age, age, age;
Good God, I’m tired of age: what I'll do I do not know,
If I don’t marry, I’ll die.
