This is my arrangement of the original song which starts off this 13th century Chantefable about Nicholete and Aucassin
I am using the original mediaeval French (with some help from my father who can speak that language!) followed by my English singing translation.
I have performed it here with Capo on fret 3 to fit my own voice.


Qui vauroit bons vers oir
del deport du viel antif
De deux biaux enfans petis Nicholete et Aucassins
Des grans paines qu'il soufrit et des prouesses qu'il fit
por s'amie o'l clair vis
Dos est li cans biaus li dis et cortois et bien asis
Nus hom n'est si esbahis tant dolans ni entrepris de grant mal amaladis
se il oit ne soit garis et de joie resbaudis
tant par est douce.....
Qui vauroit bons vers oir del deport du viel antif
De deux biaux enfans petis Nicholette et Aucassins
Nicholette et Aucasins

[my English singing translation]
Who will hear a fine old song
'tis an ancient tale I sing
Of two young folk who could do no wrong
Nicolette and Aucassin
Of the sufferings he would embrace,
his acts were noble full of grace
for his lover fair of face.
Sweet the song and full of renown courtly gentle as I sing
No man can be so cast down
taken up with suffering sore with heavy sorrows and pain
that if he hears it he'll refrain
and be joyful once again
so pretty and sweet the song is.....
Who will hear a fine old song
'tis an ancient tale I sing
Of two young folk who could do no wrong
Nicolette and Aucassin.
