D'una dona.m tueill e.m lais, Qu'ieu no vueill sa paria Pos vei que va de biais Ni que ten autra via; Qu'eu l'era fis e verais E ses tota bauzia, Que per ma fe E' l'amava mais que re; Fassa son be, C'a far l'er, si.s pliu per me.	I leave a woman and depart from her, because I don't want her company because I see she goes aslant and follows another path; for I as faithful and true to her and fully without deceit, because, by my troth, I loved her more than anything; Let her do what's good for her because she shall do it, if she pledges herself to have me.
Ges non pres un botacais Dona que aitals sia C'un prenda et autre.n lais: Non fai ges cortezia. Soven presta son carcais, Nuils hom non s'i fadia, Segon qu'ieu cre; Quar molt es de gran merce, Qu'ieu ho sai be E d'autres moltz, per ma fe.	I prize not a fat lady fashioned so as to take one man and leave another: courtesy is something else. She often lends her quiver, nobody strives too much to get there, I do believe; for she is plenty merciful, as I know well, and so do many others, by my troth.
Ges una pruna d'avais En s'amor non daria, Si be.m fai ni col ni cais; Per que.us ho celaria? Quan la vei, m'o tenh a fais, S'alre far en podia. Sabes per que? ...................... Dieus que.m mante L'en do so que l'en cove.	A wild plum is more than I'd give for her love, albeit she makes passes at me; why should I conceal it from you? When I see her, it grieves me, even if she could act different. Do you know why? ...................... May god, who maintains me, give her what suits her.
Ben es tornad' en debais La beutat qu'ill avia, E no l'en te pro borrais Ni tefinhos que sia, Et es ben razos hueimais, Que.l jovens te sa via; E par li be A son escueill, qui la ve: Mal si capte E fara peitz per jase.	The beauty she had has rather fallen down, and borage doesn't help her nor any makeup there is, and that for a good reason, that her youth is going away; and it is clear, by her bearing, when one sees her that she acts bad and she will act worse tomorrow.
