Chantefable d'Aucassin et Nicolette is a 13th Century song introducing a medieval singing play about two lovers. I have sung it in the original Old French pronunciation and also in my modern English translation. [Original French - English translation follows below] Qui vauroit bons vers oir del deport du viel antif De deux biaux enfans petis Nicholette et Aucasins 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 amala dis 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 Aucasins, Nicholette et Aucasins [English 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 worries 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, Nicolette and Aucassin
