Description

Lyrics:
I
Ja nus hons pris ne dira sa raison
Adroitement se dolantement non
Mais par effort puet il faire chançon
Mout ai amis mais povre sont li don
Honte i avront se por ma reançon
Sui ça deus yvers pris

II
Ce sevent bien mi home et mi baron
Ynglois Normant Poitevin et Gascon
Que je n’ai nul si povre compaignon
Que je lessaisse por avoir en prison
Je nou di mie por nule retraçon
Mais encor sui je pris

Ja nus hons pris ne dira sa raison
Adroitement se dolantement non
Mais par effort puet il faire chançon
Mout ai amis mais povre sont li don

Translate:
I
No prisoner can tell his honest thought
Unless he speaks as one who suffers wrong;
But for his comfort as he may make a song.
My friends are many, but their gifts are naught.
Shame will be theirs, if, for my ransom, here—
I lie another year.

II
They know this well, my barons and my men,
Normandy, England, Gascony, Poitou,
That I had never follower so low
Whom I would leave in prison to my gain.
I say it not for a reproach to them,—
But prisoner I am!

No prisoner can tell his honest thought
Unless he speaks as one who suffers wrong;
But for his comfort as he may make a song.
My friends are many, but their gifts are naught.
