To Sing

A Chantar

To sing about what I don’t want toA chantar m’er de so qu’ieu non volria
So much resentment for the one I loveTan me rancur de lui cui sui amia
For I love him more than anything that exists:Car ieu l’am mais que nuilla ren que sia:
With him, I don’t care for favors or kindness.Vas lui no .m val merces ni cortesía

I’m amazed at how your heart swells with prideBe .m meravill com vostre cors s’orguoilla
Friends, with me, for I have reason to feel pain;Amics, vas me, per qu’ai razon qu’ieu .m duoilla;
It’s not right that other loves take you from meNon es ges dreitz c’autr’amors vos mi tuoilla
For nothing I say or do will change that;Per nuilla ren qu’ie .us diga ni acuoilla;

And remember how it all beganE membre vos cals fo .l comenssamens
With our love! Already, God doesn’t wantDe nostr’amor! Ja Dompnedieus non vuoilla
My fault to be the reason for our separation.Qu’en ma colpa sia .l departimens

I should be worth my price and my sharesValer mi deu os pret e mos partages
And my beauty and even more my courageE ma beltatz e plus mos fis coratges
For I send you this song where your heart lies:Per qu’ieu vos mandad lai on es vostr’ estatges
This song that brings me messages:Esta chansson que me isa messatges:

I want to know, my beautiful friendsIeu vuoill saber, lo mieus bels amics gens
Why you treat me so harshly and so wildPer que vos m’etz tanta fers ni tant salvatges
I don’t know if it’s pride or just cruelty.Non sai, si s’es orguoills o maltalens

To sing about what I don’t want toA chantar m’er de so qu’ieu non volria
So much resentment for the one I loveTan me rancur de lui cui sui amia
For I love him more than anything that exists:Car ieu l’am mais que nuilla ren que sia:
With him, I don’t care for favors or kindness.Vas lui no .m val merces ni cortesía
