9. Rondel: «Adieu, Jeunesse, m’amie» Adieu, Jeunesse, m’amie, De vous me fault departir. Plus ne vous puis retenir Car le temps ne le vuelt mie. Et sanz vostre compaignie Ne doit nulz amour servir. Adieu, Jeunesse, m’amie, De vous me fault departir. Helas! tant de bonne vie Et de gracieux plaisir Faites a voz genz sentir, Que c’est bien droit que je die: Adieu, Jeunesse, m’amie, De vous me fault departir. Plus ne vous puis retenir Car le temps ne le vuelt mie. Desoremais Merancolie Me vendra fort assaillir. Adieu, Jeunesse, m’amie, De vous me fault departir. Mais, de vostre druerie Me lerez le souvenir En mon cuer pour reverdir Un joli rains de folie. Adieu, Jeunesse, m’amie, De vous me fault departir. Plus ne vous puis retenir Car le temps ne le vuelt mie.

9. Rondeau: “Farewell Youth, my friend” Farewell Youth, my friend, From you I must depart. I can no longer hold onto you, For Time wishes it not. And without your company, No one ought to serve love. Farewell Youth, my friend, From you I must depart. Alas, you make your servants feel So much good life And gracious pleasure That it is fitting that I say: Farewell Youth, my friend, From you I must depart, I can no longer hold onto you For Time wishes it not. From now on, Melancholy Will inflict its harsh attacks. Farewell Youth, my friend, From you I must depart. But you will leave within my heart The memory of your gallantry In order to keep fresh and green A pretty sprig of foolishness. Farewell Youth, my friend, From you I must depart. I can no longer hold onto you, For Time wishes it not.
