kalenda maya (the first of may)
| Kalenda maya | the first of May |
| Ni fuels de faya | neither leaf of beech |
| Ni chanz d'auzelh | nor song of bird |
| Ni flors de glaya | nor flower of sword lily |
| Non es que'm playa | pleases me |
| Pros domna guaya | lady noble and gay |
| Tro qu'un ysnelh | until I receive |
| Messatgier aya | a speedy messenger |
| Del vostre belh | from your fair self |
| Cors, que'm retraya | who will tell me |
| Plazer novelh | the new delight |
| Qu'Amors m'atraya | which love brings me |
Things haven't changed that much from 12th century Provence.
or, my setiments exactly, or something. :) More here...
