Le joly tetin de ma dame
a touché nu a nu le myen;
de quoy trop heureulx je me tien,
quant il m’en souvient, sur mon ame.
J’ose dire et diray tout hault,
a qui qi’il en doive doloir,
qu’en toutes façons elle vault
autant que femme peut valoir.
Sans blamer nesune aultre femme,
elle a tant en elle de bien
qu’on ne sçaroit dire combien;
or me demandez dont si j’ame.
Le joly tetin...
The perky breasts of my lover
Just touched my own chest skin to skin;
Good lord, what a fine state I’m in,
As happy as a pig in clover!
I dare to shout out to the world
Without a trace of viciousness
That no one’s girl comes near my girl
In total babe-a-liciousness.
Too bad they didn’t make the cut;
There’s nothing they can do about it:
Bae’s got more charms than can be counted.
Am I a fool in love or what?
The perky breasts of my lover…
~Translation by Raphael Seligmann
