Text
Sans cuer, dolens de vous departiray.
Et sans avoir joie jusqu'au retour.

Puis que mon corps dou vostre a partir ay.
Sans cuer, dolens de vous departiray;
Mais je ne scay de quelle part yray.
Pour ce que pleins de dolour et deplour.

Sans cuer, dolens de vous departiray.
Et sans avoir joie jusqu'au retour.

Translation
Bereft of heart, in sorrow from you I will part.
And having no joy until my return.

Since from your body mine is forced to go.
Bereft of heart, in sorrow from you I will part;
But I do not know where I shall go.
Because full of sorrow and tears

Bereft of heart, in sorrow from you I will part.
And having no joy until my return.
