Puis que vivre en servitude Pierre Phalèse (1510-1573)  Tant que vivray Claudin de Sermisy (1495-1562)   Benedic anima mea Sermisy Je n’ay point plus    Nous sommes de l’ordre de Saint Babouyn Loyset Compère (1440-1518) La la la je ne l’ose dire Pierre Certon (c. 1515-1572)   Translations  Belle qui tiens ma vie (Thoinot Arbeau)  Belle, qui tiens ma vie captive dans tes yeux, Qui m'a l'âme ravie d'un souriz gracieux, Viens tôt me secourir, ou me faudra mourir. Beauty, you who hold my life captive in your eyes, Who make my soul glad with a gracious smile, Come soon rescue me, or I shall die.  Benedic anima mea (Sermisy)  Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et omnia quae intra me sunt nomini sancto ejus. Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones ejus. Qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis; qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas: Praise the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me praise his holy Name. Praise the Lord, O my soul: and forget not all his benefits; Who forgiveth all thy sin: and healeth all thine infirmities;   Tant que vivray (Sermisy)  Tant que vivray en aage florissant, Je serviray Amour le Dieu puissant, En faict, et dictz, en chansons, et accords. Par plusieurs jours m'a tenu languissant, Mais apres dueil m'a faict resjouyssant, Car j'ay l'amour de la belle au gent corps. Son alliance Est ma fiance: Son cueur est mien, Mon cueur est sien: Fy de tristesse, Vive lyesse, Puis qu'en Amours a tant de bien.  Quand je la veulx servir, et honnorer, Quand par escriptz veulx son nom decorer, Quand je la voy, et visite souvent, Les envieulx n'en font que murmurer, Mais nostre Amour n'en sçauroit moins durer: Aultant ou plus en emporte le vent. Maulgré envie Toute ma vie Je l'aymeray, Et chanteray: C'est la premiere, C'est la derniere, Que j'ay servie, et serviray. As long as I live in my prime, I shall serve the mighty king of Love In deeds, in words, in songs, in harmonies. That king made me languish a while; But afterwards he made me rejoice, Since now I have the love of the beauty. In her friendship is my trust, Her heart is mine,  mine hers. Away with sadness,  long live gladness! Since there are so many good things in love.  When I seek to serve and honor her, When I seek to adorn her name with my words, When I see and visit her --- Her enviers only gossip. But our love doesn’t last any less long for that; The wind carries their gossip and more away. Despite their envy,  I shall serve her And sing of her  all my life. She is the first,  she is the last, Whom I have served and shall serve.  Je n’ay point plus d’affection (Sermisy)  Je n'ai point plus d'affection que ce qu'il me plaît d'en avoir. Et si ne porte passion s'il ne me plaît la recevoir. J'ai gagné sur moi tel pouvoir, tel crédit et autorité que je commande à mon vouloir, rien n'y peut la fragilité. I no longer have any more affection than it pleases me to have. And surely do not bear passion if it doesn’t please me to receive it. I’ve won for myself such power, such favor and authority that I order, at my pleasure, nothing but weakness.         Nous sommes de l'ordre de Saint Babouin (Loyset Compère)  Nous sommes de l'ordre de Saint Babouyn L'ordre ne dit mye de lever matin  Dormir jusqu'a prime  Et boire bon vin  Et din din din ...   Et dire matines sur un pot de vin  A nostre diner le beau chapon gras  La soupe au jaunet comme au mardi gras  La pièce de boeuf et le gros mouton  Et don don don ....   Et voila la vie que nous demandons  We are of the Order of Saint Babouyn  The Order does not say to rise early  But to sleep until prime.  And to drink good wine  And din din din ...   And to sing matins on a stoup of wine  For dinner a nice fat capon  A soup with egg yolk as on Shrove Tuesday  A side of beef and a good bit of fat mutton  And don don don ...
