Pauvre Rutebeuf

Que sont mes amis devenusQue j'avais de si près tenusEt tant aimés ?Ils ont été trop clairsemés,Je crois le vent les a ôtés.L'amour est morte.Ce sont amis que vent me porteEt il ventait devant ma porteLes emporta

Avec le temps qu'arbre défeuilleQuand il ne reste en branche feuilleQui n'aille à terre.Avec pauvreté qui m'atterreQui de partout me fait la guerre.Au temps d'hiverNe convient pas que vous raconteComment je me suis mis à honte,En quelle manière.

Que sont mes amis devenusQue j'avais de si près tenusEt tant aimés ?Ils ont été trop clairsemés,Je crois le vent les a ôtés.L'amour est morte.Le mal ne sait pas seul venirTout ce qui m'était à venirM'est advenu.

Pauvre sens et pauvre mémoireM'a Dieu donné, le roi de gloire,Et pauvre rente.Et droit sur moi1quand bise venteLe vent me vient, le vent m'éventeL'amour est morteCe sont amis que vent emporteEt il ventait devant ma porteLes emporta

Les emporta...

Poor Rutebeuf

What became of my friendswho I had held so closeand loved so much?They became too scarce,I think the wind took them from me.Love is undone.Friends are what the wind brings meand the wind was blowing in my doorstepand took them away.

The weather shakes the treesuntil every leaf from the branchfalls down to earth.Since poverty drags me downand overwhelms mein winter timeI shall not tellhow I disgraced myself,in which way.

What became of my friendswho I had held so closeand loved so much?They became too scarce,I think the wind took them from me.Love is undone.A misfortune never comes alone.All I was fated to endurehas befallen me.

God, the king with glory crowned,gave me little sense, little memoryand little wealth.And when the wind blows,it comes right at and through me.Love is undone.Friends are what the wind carries awayand the wind was blowing in my doorstepand it took them away.

It took them away...
