Quant j'ay l'espart (Machaut, set by G. Machaut) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


 Quant j'ay l'espart
 De vo regart,
 Dame d'onnour,
 Son dous espart
 En moy espart
 Toute douçour.

 Car main et tart
 M'esprent son dart
 De fine amour -
 Quant j'ay l'espart
 De vo regart,
 Dame d'onnour, -

 Et me regart
 D'un ris qui m'art.
 Mais celle ardour
 Par son dous art
 De moy depart
 Toute dolour.
 Quant j'ay l'espart
 De vo regart,
 Dame d'onnour,
 Son dous espart
 En moy espart
 Toute douçour.
