Quant j’ai ouy le tabourin

Quant j’ai ouy le tabourin
sonner pour s’en aller au may,
en mon lit n’en ay fait affray
ne levé mon chief du coissin
en disant: il est trop matin
ung peu je me rendormiray:
Quant j’ai ouy le tabourin
sonner pour s’en aller au may,
jeunes gens partent leur butin;
De non chaloir m’accointeray
A lui je m’abutineray.
Trouvé l’ay plus prouchain voisin
Quant j’ai ouy le tabourin
Sonner pour s’en aller au may,
En mon lit n’en ay fait affray
ne levé mon chief du coissin.

When I hear the tambourine

When I hear the tambourine
sound, calling us to May,
in my bed I remain calm,
not lifting my head from the pillow
saying, "It is too early,
I’ll fall asleep again."
When I hear the tambourine
sound, calling us to May,
the young jump from partner to partner
not even bothering to remember you.
From him, I’ll move on,
finding a lover that’s conveniently close by.
When I hear the tambourine
sound, calling us to May,
in my bed I remain calm,
not lifting my head from the pillow.
