je prens congie

nicolas gombert

anon

je prens congie de mes amours

des quelles me fault partir– hellas

nul ne me vient donner secours– hellas

dont dois plourer et bien gemir

nul ne me vient donner secours

dont dois plourer et bien gemir

si suis le mis en plus decent martire

je dis adieu a mes amours

soudainement me voye morir.

i take leave of my loves

from whom i must part, alas,

no one comes to me to give comfort, alas,

so i must weep and sigh,

no one comes to me to give comfort,

so i must weep and sigh,

if i have a more decent end

i bid adieu to my loves,

quickly you will see me die.
