Song in Provençal Style
- In Provençal style I'd like
- to make a song of love
- and greatly praise my lady,
- whose looks and talents lack
- in nothing. God granted her
- so much that there's no other
- like her in any land.
- Wanting her to surpass
- the rest, God made my lady
- highly skilled and worthy
- yet also humble, simple,
- full of common sense
- and every virtue, whence
- no lady could be her equal.
- Placing in her no error,
- God made my lady pretty,
- clever, well-spoken and cheery
- like no one else, and very
- loyal. I cannot think
- of another lady worth talking
- about, since none can compare.
[English version by Richard Zenith]
